Aim:
To identify and analyse the 100 most-cited articles published in paediatric dentistry journals, providing an updated bibliometric overview of the field and comparing findings with previous analysis.
Methods:
The Web of Science database was searched up to January 2026 to identify the most-cited papers published in paediatric dentistry journals. The top 100 articles were selected and analysed for citation count, publication year, source journal, geographic distribution, authorship, study design, and thematic area. Co-occurrence network analysis was performed using VOSviewer.
Conclusion:
Compared with the 2019 analysis, citation thresholds have risen substantially, systematic reviews have replaced cross-sectional studies as the dominant design, MIH has emerged as a leading research theme, and geographic disparities in citation accumulation persist and warrant attention.
