CRIS Guidelines (Checklist for Reporting In-vitro Studies): A concept note on the need for standardized guidelines for improving quality and transparency in reporting in-vitro studies in experimental dental research

<i>In vitro</i> studies form a pivotal role in dental research contribution to a substantial evidence base. The reporting standards of these studies are not uniform thus resulting in lacunae in evidence reported. The effort of this concept note is to propose a Checklist for Reporting <i>in vitro</i> Studies (CRIS guidelines) that would promote quality and transparency in reporting <i>in vitro</i> studies.<br>
