This study analyzed the 100 most cited dental caries articles to reveal trends in dentistry research. Older articles showed lower citation density, indicating evolving research focus in dental caries.
Area of Science:
- Dental Research
- Cariology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Dental caries remains a significant global oral health challenge.
- Understanding the historical trajectory of research is crucial for future advancements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the 100 most frequently cited articles in dental caries research.
- To highlight evolving trends in dental research over time.
Main Methods:
- A systematic search was conducted using the Web of Science database.
- Articles were ranked by citation count, and data on authorship, publication year, and journal were extracted.
- Citation density and correlation analyses were performed.
Main Results:
- Citation counts varied across databases (WoS, Scopus, Google Scholar).
- The year 2004 saw the highest publication output for dental caries articles.
- A negative correlation was found between article age and citation density (p < 0.01).
Conclusions:
- This review offers critical insights into scientific developments in dental caries.
- Identified trends inform current clinical management and future research directions in dentistry.
