“…The USA was the top country on both papers and citations, which corroborates with other studies in the dentistry area [Ahmad et al, 2020;Vitali et al, 2022]. This major contribution is due to a large community of active researchers and various funding sources [Shadgan et al, 2010].…”

A highly cited paper is a milestone and might impact research and clinical practice. The present study analyzed the 100 most-cited papers on fluoride varnishes in dentistry. A search was performed on July 20, 2022, on the Web of Science Core Collection. Two independent researchers extracted the following data: number and citation density; year and journal of publication; study design; main topic; authors; institutions; keywords; countries and continents. Scopus and Google Scholar were consulted to compare the number of citations. Bibliometric networks were generated in the VOSviewer. The number of citations ranged from 36 to 351, and thirteen papers were cited more than 100 times. The papers were published between 1977 and 2018, most of which were published after 2008 (48%). The most prevalent journal was Caries Research (17%). Intervention studies were the most common design (41%). The most discussed topics were dental caries prevention (48%) and dental remineralization (31%). Europe was the continent with the highest number of publications (46%), mainly from Sweden (14%), and Umea University had the most substantial number of studies (8%). Petersson LG was the author with more papers in the top 100 (6%). The most used keywords were “dental caries” (34%) and “fluoride varnish” (31%). It can be concluded that the top 100 cited papers on fluoride varnish primarily originated from Europe, with the majority consisting of intervention studies focusing on the utilization of fluoride varnish for the prevention of dental caries.

“…Africa had the lowest number of articles and citations, with only two papers and two SRs, indicating limited support for research in this region 21 . When analyzing countries, the USA had both the most papers and citations in the top 100, aligning with other bibliometric studies 7,8,10 . The USA's high funding budget across all research areas allows the country to build research capacity and publish high-quality papers in various fields 11 .…”

Aim: To identify and analyze the 100 most-cited clinical trials (CTs) and systematic reviews (SRs) related to children and adolescents’ oral health. Methods: A search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS-CC), using a specific search strategy. Papers were ranked in descending order, considering number of citations. Only CTs and SRs were considered. Two reviewers selected the papers and collected the bibliometric data: year of publication; number and density of citations; study designs; journals; authors; countries and institutions; topics of study; and keywords. Poisson regression was performed to verify associations between the number of citations and bibliometric parameters. Results: The 100 most-cited papers were published between 1982 and 2018 and received a total of 8,702 citations in the WoS-CC (ranging from 52 to 177). Fifty-three papers were CTs and 47 SRs. The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics published the most papers (n=20). Twetman S contributed the highest number of papers (n=7). The United States of America was the most prolific country (n = 17), followed by the Netherlands (n=11). The University of Nijmegen (Netherlands) presented 8 papers among the most-cited. The main topic of interest was Cariology (n = 40). “Dental Caries” was the most frequent keyword (n = 20). The citations’ number from WoS-CC decreased by 1.3% each year (RP: 0.987, 95%CI: 0.975–1.000, p = 0.048). Conclusion: This bibliometric study allowed an analysis of the most-cited CTs and SRs related to children and adolescents’ oral health, highlighting the most prolific authors, institutions and countries based on the number of citations.

“…In dentistry, various factors have been studied: years since publication, 30,31 number of pages, 30 type of article, 29,32 topic covered in the article, 30,33 journal, 2,[31][32][33] number of authors, 2,33 and number of references, 2 among others. Second, it is concerning for researchers and journals not to be cited, and there are various reasons why an article is not cited, for instance, the article's topic might be highly specialized and irrelevant to current research, or the distribution and accessibility of the publication might be restricted, hindering other researchers from discovering and citing it as a reference.…”

“…A third factor has been considered to explore the question of citations. In dentistry, linear regression models, 20 Poisson regression models, 31 and negative binomial regression models 2,32,33 have been used to identify the factors associated with the number of citations; in particular, negative binomial regression models have been used in the presence of overdispersion in the number of citations. 34 However, these models, by themselves, do not allow the study of the factors impacting the number of citations and noncitations, whereas zero-inflated negative binomial regression models and double fence models do have this capability as part of bibliometric 36 or computer science 37 studies.…”

Background: The global scientific literature in dentistry has shown important advances in the field, with major contributions ranging from the analysis of the basic epidemiological aspects of prevention to specialised results in the field of dental treatments. The present investigation aimed to analyse the current state of the scientific literature on dentistry hosted in the Web of Science database. Methods: The methodology included two phases in the analysis of articles and indexed reviews in all thematic areas. During the first phase, the following variables were analysed: scientific production by the publisher, the evolution of scientific output published by publishers, the factors associated with the impact of scientific production, and the modelling of the impact of scientific production on dentistry. During the second phase, associations, evolutions, and trends in the use of keywords in the scientific literature in dentistry were analysed. Results: The first phase shows that scientific production in dentistry will increase between 2010 and 2021, reaching 12,126 articles in 2021. Publishers such as Wiley and Elsevier stand out, but Quintessence Publishing has the most citations. Factors such as pages, authors, and references influence the number of citations. Phase 2 analyzes trends in the dental literature using the WoS database. Topics such as "dental education", "pediatric dentistry", and "pandemic" stand out. The intersection of technology and dentistry and the importance of evidence-based education are highlighted. Conclusions: In conclusion, the study shows that the most studied topics include the association of dental education and the curriculum, the association of pediatric dentistry with oral health, and dental care. The findings show that more recently emphasised topics also stand out, such as evidence-based dentistry, the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control, and endodontics, as well as the need for future research to expand current knowledge based on emerging topics in the scientific literature on dentistry.
