Summary
This study identified the 100 most cited dental articles, revealing a focus on periodontology and clinical research. Key findings highlight influential authors and publication trends in dentistry.
Area of Science:
- Dental research
- Bibliometrics
- Periodontology
Background:
- Identifying highly cited articles is crucial for understanding research impact in dentistry.
- Previous comprehensive analyses of top-cited dental publications are limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles published in dental journals.
- To understand trends in authorship, publication dates, study types, and research areas.
Main Methods:
- A systematic search of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science database was conducted.
- Articles were identified from journals in the
- Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine
- category.
- Data collected included author information, journal, publication year, study type, and research area.
Main Results:
- The 100 most cited articles received 326 to 2050 citations and were published in 21 journals.
- Periodontology was the most frequent research area (43%), followed by implantology.
- Clinical research predominated (66%), with case series and narrative reviews being common study types.
Conclusions:
- This study provides insights into influential topics and authors in dentistry based on citation counts.
- Despite a predominance of lower-evidence study types, the focus has been on high-impact journals and key areas like periodontology.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

01:29Bone Disorders
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

01:29Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
