Amaç: Ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde endodonti alanında liderlik ve araştırmacı verimliliği üzerine cinsiyet eşitliğini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Türkiye'de kamu ve vakıf üniversitelerinde endodonti ana bilim dalında görevli profesör, doçent ve doktor öğretim üyesi titrine sahip 303 öğretim üyesinin yayın sayısı, yayınlara alınan atıf sayısı ve h-indeksleri Web of Science ve Scopus veri tabanları kullanılarak toplandı. Web of Science veri tabanında, ''Endodonti'' alanına odaklanan dergileri belirlemek için araştırma yapıldı. ''Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine'' kategorisine odaklanan Web of Science veri tabanı dergilerinin editöryal kurul üyelerinin cinsiyet dağılımı ile ilgili veriler toplandı. Bulgular: Diş hekimliği fakültelerinde 128 erkek (%42,25), 175 kadın (%57,75) olmak üzere toplam 303 öğretim üyesi görev yapmaktadır. Profesör, doçent ve doktor öğretim üyesi statülerinde erkekler sırasıyla %59,30, %40,78 ve %32,62'lik paya sahipken; kadınlar sırasıyla %40,70, %59,22 ve %67,38'lik paya sahiptir. Doçent ve doktor öğretim üyesi ünvanına sahip kadın araştırmacı sayısı, aynı akademik statüdeki erkeklerden ve profesör ünvanına sahip erkek araştırmacıların sayısı, aynı akademik statüdeki kadınlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. Sonuç: Endodonti alanındaki kadın araştırmacıların erkek meslektaşlarının gerisinde kalması, "cam tavan etkisi"nin bir göstergesidir. Ancak, şu anda doçent ve yardımcı doçent düzeyinde bulunan yüksek sayıdaki kadın araştırmacı, önümüzdeki yıllarda endodonti alanında kadın başarısını ve liderliğini vurgulayacaktır.

Objective: The aim is to evaluate gender equality in leadership and researcher productivity in endodontology department at both national and international levels. Material and Methods: The number of publications, citations received, and h-index values of 303 faculty members holding the titles of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor in the department of endodontics at public and private universities in Türkiye were collected using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. A search was conducted to identify journals focusing on the field of ''Endodontics'' in the Web of Science database. Data regarding the gender distribution of editorial board members of journals in the Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine category in the Web of Science database were also collected. Results: In dental faculties, there are a total of 303 faculty members, with 128 males (42.25%) and 175 females (57.75%). Among the faculty members holding the titles of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, males account for 59.30%, 40.78% and 32.62%, respectively, while females account for 40.70%, 59.22% and 67.38%, respectively. The number of female researchers holding the titles of associate professor and assistant professor is significantly higher than the number of male researchers in the same academic status and the number of male researchers holding the title of professor compared to female researchers in the same academic status. Conclusion: The fact that female researchers in the field of endodontics lag behind their male colleagues is an indication of the "glass ceiling effect." However, the current high number of female researchers at the associate professor and assistant professor levels will highlight female success and leadership in the field of endodontics in the coming years.
