The British Dental Journal Top Tips series has now completed three years of regular publishing in almost every issue (https://www.nature.com/collections/toptips). The series has year on year been the most read collection of content in the journal, and for many has become a ready resource for clinical tips and advice from experts in their field. The series is soon to become a Springer Nature textbook where the series of over 60 articles will become a compendium of practical dentistry.
