Dental Hygiene students often need to use specific types of articles for their research. Articles can be broken down into two main types: scholary/peer-reviewed and popular.
Scholarly articles can be considered primary research articles or secondary research articles.The main difference between a primary research article and a secondary research article, or literature review, is that the primary research article describes one research study conducted by the authors. A secondary research article will describe multiple research studies done by multiple research teams.
