Summary
This bibliometric study identified the 100 most cited articles on Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a key dental material. The findings highlight landmark publications and research trends in SDF applications, particularly for caries arrest.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Bibliometrics
- Material Science
Background:
- Bibliometric studies identify seminal research, guiding the scientific community.
- Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a significant material in dental research.
- Understanding top-cited SDF articles provides insights into its development and application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the 100 most cited articles on Silver diamine fluoride (SDF).
- To highlight landmark publications and research trends in the field of SDF.
- To provide a comprehensive resource for researchers interested in SDF.
Main Methods:
- A bibliometric analysis was conducted on four major databases: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase.
- Search terms included variations of 'silver diamine fluoride' and 'dentistry'.
- Data extracted included journal, authors, year, citation count, country of origin, study design, and SDF application (e.g., caries arrest).
Main Results:
- Clinical trials constituted the largest article type (n=24), with systematic, literature, and narrative reviews also significantly represented.
- China and the USA were the leading countries in publishing highly cited SDF articles.
- Caries arrest was the most frequently studied application of SDF, with the Journal of Dentistry and Journal of Dental Research publishing major contributions.
Conclusions:
- This review identifies key publications on Silver diamine fluoride, offering valuable guidance for the research community.
