“…This result seems to be more related to the quality of the institutions and researchers rather than the number of countries that comprise the continent [Baldiotti et al, 2021]. This finding agrees with data described in other bibliometric studies in dentistry [Baldiotti et al, 2021;Rocha et al, 2022]. The University of Umea in Sweden was the outstanding institution in the top 100 most-cited papers.…”

“…The oldest paper was published in 1977 [Murray et al, 1977], but the 100 mostcited papers were mainly published in the 2000s (Table 1). Since fluoride varnish is considered a non-invasive treatment, it is especially useful for arresting dental caries [Marinho et al, 2013], reducing the dissolution of dental hard tissue in erosive tooth wear [Rocha et al, 2022], and obliterating dentin tubes in dentin hypersensitivity [Ritter et al, 2006;Alam et al, 2021].…”

“…Bibliometric analysis can aid researchers in recognizing research patterns, study methodologies, trending thematic, notable authors, leading scientific journals, and countries with the highest publication performance [Perazzo et al, 2019]. Numerous dentistry fields and thematic have been explored in bibliometric investigations thus far [Alam et al, 2021;Baldiotti et al, 2021;Rocha et al, 2022]. Nonetheless, no bibliometric assessment of papers concerning fluoride varnish has yet been carried out.…”

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.

“…In the bibliometric field, WoS-CC, designed with an emphasis on citation analysis, is considered one of the most prestigious databases for examining scientific quality and impact [Ionescu et al, 2021]. Therefore, studies involving bibliometric analysis often use WoS as the primary database [Baldiotti et al, 2021;Rocha et al, 2022]. Scopus has the limitation of measuring citations in a shorter period, beginning in 1996.…”

“…In dentistry, non-carious dental conditions, including DF, are the subject of extensive research and growing concern for dentists worldwide [Wondwossen et al, 2004;Freitas et al, 2013;Martignon et al, 2021]. The literature has bibliometric studies involving other non-carious dental alterations such as erosive tooth wear and molar incisor hypomineralization [Da Costa et al, 2021;Rocha et al, 2022]. However, bibliometric analyses specifically targeting DF without restrictions on years and location were not identified [Forero et al, 2018;Ullah et al, 2019;Waghmare et al, 2021].…”

A high number of citations can indicate the potential of any specific paper to influence other research and generate changes in clinical practice. Analyzing the most-cited papers in a certain scientific field may assist researchers to identify the influential papers as well their main characteristics. The present study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited papers concerning dental fluorosis (DF) through a bibliometric review. A search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoS-CC) in November 2021. The papers were displayed in descending order according to the number of citations in WoS-CC. Two independent researchers performed the selection. Scopus and Google Scholar were used to compare the number of citations with WoS-CC. The following data were extracted from the papers: title, authors, number and density of citations, institution, country, continent, year of publication, journal title, keywords, study design, and theme. Collaborative networks were generated using the VOSviewer software. The top 100 most-cited papers were published between 1974 and 2014 and were cited 6,717 times (ranging from 35 to 417). Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (24%), Journal of Dental Research (21%), Journal of Public Health Dentistry (17%), and Caries Research (13%) published the most papers. Observational studies (60%) and literature reviews (19%) were the most common study designs. The main topics were epidemiology (44%) and fluoride intake (32%). The countries with the highest number of papers were the United States of America (USA) (44%), Canada (10%), and Brazil (9%). The University of Iowa (USA) had the most papers (12%). Levy SM was the author with the highest number of papers (12%). The 100 most-cited papers on DF were mainly observational studies focused on epidemiology and originated in North America. There were few interventional studies and systematic reviews among the most-cited papers concerning this topic.

Objective This study aimed to identify the 100 top-cited articles on dentin adhesives utilizing comprehensive bibliometric and altmetric analyses. Materials and methods The Institute of Scientific Information Web of Knowledge database was used to compile the top-cited articles published from 1945 through February 12, 2023. Citation counts were manually retrieved for each article from Scopus, Google Scholar, Dimensions, and Altmetric. The articles were analyzed in terms of their number of citations, year, journal name, author (name, institution, and country), and type and specific field of study. We used descriptive statistics to summarize the results. Results The analysis revealed that the top 100 cited articles originated from 18 English-language journals and collectively accumulated a remarkable 34526 citations. The article with the highest number of citations garnered 1288 references. Among authors, Van Meerbeek B. stood out with nine articles and 4650 citations, followed by Pashley D.H. with six articles and 2769 citations. Japan was the leading contributor by country, while the Catholic University of Leuven led in terms of institutions with 20 articles. Conclusion According to this study, basic research and review articles garnered the most citations, respectively. The citation analysis revealed different trends for researchers, the first being that researchers have focused on basic fields such as the ultramorphology of dentin and adhesive interfaces, followed by bond strength to dentin. Two studies on clinical experiences suggested that studies with high-level evidence, such as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or randomized controlled clinical trials, are required. Clinical relevance It is identified that more studies with high-level evidence-based research are needed in the field of dental adhesives.
