Summary
This review analyzed guided endodontics (GE) research trends. Europe shows increased interest, particularly in using GE for severely calcified root canals.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Dental research
- Biomedical engineering
Background:
- This review analyzes trends and characteristics of guided endodontics (GE) research.
- A systematic search of Web of Science identified 85 relevant articles published between 2016 and 2023.
Observation:
- The Journal of Endodontics published the most articles (n=28).
- Case reports (n=38) were the most common study design, focusing on static GE for calcified canals (n=27).
- Author Connert T and the University of Basel were most prolific; Brazil led in publications, while Europe was the most frequent continent.
Findings:
- A moderate positive correlation (rho=0.483) exists between citation count and journal impact factor.
- Network analysis revealed author interactions.
- Google Trends indicates the United States leads in global GE research interest.
Implications:
- European research demonstrates growing interest in guided endodontics.
- Further research could focus on optimizing GE techniques for complex endodontic challenges, such as calcified canals.
