Bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of literature on peri‐implant diseases in the Web of Science

Abstract

Background The exponential increase in implant placement worldwide and the high prevalence of its associated pathologies have prompted an increasing contribution by the scientific community to the number of publications related to peri‐implant pathologies. Purpose The objective of this work is to carry out a bibliometric analysis of scientific production on peri‐implant diseases. Materials and Methods The search strategy included titles, keywords, and abstracts based on the term peri‐implantitis and all the possible combinations existing in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of the main collection of Web of Science. Two limits were established: the document typology was limited to Article and Review, and articles published up to 2019 were selected. All articles were refined and standardized manually to avoid typographical errors and duplications in authors' names or institutions. Results The total number of papers collected was 2547. A significant increase was observed in the number of articles published, especially in the past 10 years. The three most productive authors were Europeans, and the 45 most productive institutions were the universities. The most productive funding entities were the governments. Of the published works, 42.28% were funded. Of the 2547 records, 86.53% presented keywords. Conclusions Scientific literature on peri‐implantitis shows scientific growth in recent years, with a growing trend towards collaboration between authors and institutions. Most of the works have been published in high‐impact journals, and in the last 2 years, more than half of the works have received some type of public or private funding.

Peri‐implantitis: A bibliometric network analysis of top 100 most‐cited research articles

“…Several bibliometric studies have been published in the field of implant dentistry. [14][15][16][17][22][23][24] Fardi and colleagues, 24 conducted a bibliometric analysis on the top 100 papers in implant dentistry. Likewise, Antonio Alarcon and colleagues, 14 reported the 300 most-cited articles in implant dentistry.…”

“…Appropriate interpretation is utterly vital in bibliometric reviews. To the best of our knowledge, despite several bibliometric analyses on various topics of dentistry 12,13 and implantology, [14][15][16][17] a study with a primary focus on peri-implantitis is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this bibliometric analysis was to identify and analyze the top 100 most-cited papers in peri-implantitis using comprehensive data analysis and bibliometric tools.…”

Research status and hot topics of the effects of skin innervation on wound healing from 1959 to 2022: A bibliometric analysis

“…An author's influence is judged not only by their total number of articles but also by a combination of their total number of citations, average number of citations per document, and collaboration with other expert authors ( 49 ). Gibran, Nicole S. cooperated with others the most and published the largest number of articles in the current field, mostly related to neuropeptides, microvascular endothelial cells, and diabetic wound healing ( 50 – 60 ), but did not rank in the top three for the total number of citations or the average number of citations per document.…”

“…Journal papers and authorship trends in the geographic, subject organization, and other relevant factors are frequently included in bibliometric analyses [6]. Alvarez et al [7] proposed the scholarly literature on peri-implantitis. Authors and institutions have also become more collaborative.…”
