Dental implantlarda intraoral tarayıcıların kullanımıyla ilgili en çok atıf alan ilk 100 makalenin bibliyometrik analizi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, “intraoral scanner” ve “dental implant” anahtar sözcükleri ile arama yapıldığında elde edilen çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizini yapmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bir arama stratejisi olarak, Web of Science’ın ana kategorilerinde (Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded)) “intraoral scanner (IOS)” ve “dental implant” terimleri ile arama yapıldı. Arama, belge türüne göre yalnızca “makaleler” ve “derlemeler” ile sınırlandırıldı ve 2023’e kadar yayınlanmış makalelerle sınırlandırıldı. Tüm makaleler, yazım hatalarından ve yazar adlarının veya kurumlarının tekrarından kaçınmak için 3 bağımsız değerlendirici tarafından manuel olarak incelendi ve standartlaştırıldı. Bulgular: Kriterleri karşılayan 392 makale arasından en çok atıf alan 100 makale seçildi. Özellikle son 10 yılda yayınlanan makale sayısında önemli bir artış oldu. En üretken 3 ülke ABD, İtalya ve İspanya’dır. En fazla yayına sahip kıta Avrupa'dır. Bu konuda en çok atıf alan makale 401 atıfa sahipken, 100'den fazla atıf alan toplam makale sayısı 10'dur. Sonuçlar: IOS'lar hasta ve diş hekimi konforu açısından önemli bir teknolojidir ve diş hekimliğinde kullanımı yıllar geçtikçe artmıştır. Protetik diş hekimliğinde dental implantlarla birlikte IOS'ların kullanımı giderek daha popüler hale gelmiştir. Bu bibliyometrik çalışmada en fazla yayına sahip ülkeler incelendiğinde ilk 3 ülkeyi ABD, İspanya ve İtalya'nın oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir.

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Most-Cited Articles on the Use of Intraoral Scanners in Dental Implants

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the studies obtained when searching with the keywords “intraoral scanner” and “dental implant”. Materials and Methods: As a search strategy, a search was performed in the main categories of Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded)) with the terms “intraoral scanner (IOS)” and “dental implant”. The search was limited by document type to “articles” and “reviews” only and restricted to articles published until 2023. All articles were manually reviewed and standardized by 3 independent reviewers to avoid typos and duplication of author names or institutions. Results: The 100 most cited articles were selected from 392 articles that met the criteria. There has been a significant increase in the number of published articles, especially in the last 10 years. The 3 most productive countries are the USA, Italy, and Spain. The continent with the highest number of publications is Europe. The most cited article on this topic has 401 citations, while the total number of articles with over 100 citations is 10. Conclusions: IOSs are an important technology in terms of patient and dentist comfort, the use of which has increased over the years in dentistry. The use of IOSs with dental implants in prosthodontic treatment has become increasingly popular. In this bibliometric study, when the countries with the most publications were analyzed, it was determined that the USA, Spain, and Italy constituted the top 3 countries.
