Summary
This scientometric analysis reveals surgical endodontics research trends. The USA leads in publications, with "apicoectomy" as a key term, focusing on materials and techniques for periapical lesion treatment.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Endodontics
- Bibliometrics
- Dental Research
Background:
- Persistent periapical lesions often require surgical endodontics to remove diseased tissue and promote healing.
- Surgical endodontics offers an alternative treatment to conventional root canal therapy for complex cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scientometric analysis of surgical endodontics research.
- To identify research trends, popular topics, and key contributors in the field.
- To map the scientific landscape of surgical endodontics.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was performed on Web of Science and Scopus databases.
- Bibliometric analysis was conducted using Biblioshiny software on 1988 publications from 1935 to 2023.
- Data analyzed included publication metrics, author information, keywords, and study designs.
Main Results:
- The USA is the most productive country, with Von Arx T. and the Journal of Endodontics being highly influential.
- "Materials" and "apicoectomy" were the most frequent title term and keyword, respectively.
- Research distribution: 38.3% basic science, 37.2% observational, 15.8% reviews, 8.7% clinical studies; 31% focused on materials, 19% on techniques.
Conclusions:
- This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the surgical endodontics research landscape.
- The findings highlight a strong focus on materials and techniques, indicating future research directions.
- Understanding these trends is crucial for advancing the field of surgical endodontics.

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.
