Bibliometrics is defined as the use of statistical methods in the analysis of a body of literature to reveal the historical development of subject fields and patterns of authorship, publication, and use. Our objective was to characterize Spanish scientific output in Dentistry through the analysis of Web of Science database in a 20-year period. By means of a bibliometric study documents were statistically analyzed using indicators that showed quantitative and qualitative aspects of the production. Specifically, time course of the scientific production within the time span was analysed, as were the journals where the article was published and the categories of Journal Citation Reports (JCR) in which they belong, thematic areas, authorship, and finally authors and institutions with the highest production in Spain.
By means of the design of a specific search strategy previously described in the scientific literature, we recovered all citable documents about Dentistry signed by Spanish researchers and included in the WoS database between 1993 and 2012.
A total of 3006 documents fulfilled the search criteria, of which 2449 (81.5%) were published in journals within the category Dentistry Oral Surgery and Medicine and 557 (18.5%) within other categories of the JCR. During the four quinquenniums studied, the production increased quantitatively (8.6-fold) and qualitatively. Finally, the universities of Granada and Complutense of Madrid were the institutions with the highest production and most prolific authors.
The Spanish dental production sharply increased in the last two decades, reaching quantitative and qualitative levels similar to those of the other medical specialties in the country.
文献计量学的定义是运用统计方法分析文献体系，以揭示学科领域的历史发展以及作者、出版和使用模式。我们的目标是通过分析20年期间的科学引文索引数据库来描述西班牙牙科领域的科研产出情况。通过文献计量学研究，使用能够展示产出的定量和定性方面的指标对文献进行统计分析。具体而言，分析了该时间跨度内科研产出的时间进程、论文发表的期刊及其所属的期刊引证报告（JCR）类别、主题领域、作者情况，最后分析了西班牙科研产出最高的作者和机构。
通过设计科学文献中先前描述的特定检索策略，我们检索了1993年至2012年间西班牙研究人员署名且被科学引文索引数据库收录的所有关于牙科的可引用文献。
共有3006篇文献符合检索标准，其中2449篇（81.5%）发表在牙科、口腔外科与医学类别内的期刊上，557篇（18.5%）发表在JCR的其他类别期刊上。在研究的四个五年期间，产出在数量（增长8.6倍）和质量上均有所提高。最后，格拉纳达大学和马德里康普顿斯大学是产出最高的机构，作者发表量也最多。
在过去二十年中，西班牙牙科领域的科研产出急剧增加，在数量和质量上达到了与该国其他医学专业类似的水平。
