Citation analysis is the field of bibliometrics that uses citation data to evaluate the scientific recognition and the influential performance of a research article in the scientific community. The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the top-cited articles pertaining to implant dentistry, to analyze the main characteristics, and to display the most interesting topics and evolutionary trends.
The 100 top-cited articles published in "Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine" journals were identified using the Science Citation Index Database. The articles were further reviewed, and basic information was collected, including the number of citations, journals, authors, publication year, study design, level of evidence, and field of study.
The highly cited articles in implant dentistry were cited between 199 and 2,229 times. The majority of them were published in four major journals: Clinical Oral Implants Research, International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants, Journal of Clinical Periodontology, and Journal of Periodontology. The publication year ranged from 1981 to 2009, with 45% published in a nine-year period (2001 to 2009). Publications from the United States (29%) were the most heavily cited, followed by those from Sweden (23%) and Switzerland (17%). The University of Göteborg from Sweden produced the highest number of publications (n = 19), followed by the University of Bern in Switzerland (n = 13). There was a predominance of clinical papers (n = 42), followed by reviews (n = 25), basic science research (n = 21), and proceedings papers (n = 12). Peri-implant tissue healing and health (24%), implant success/failures (19.2%), and biomechanical topics (16.8%) were the most common fields of study.
Citation analysis in the field of implant dentistry reveals interesting information about the topics and trends negotiated by researchers and elucidates which characteristics are required for a paper to attain a "classic" status. Clinical science articles published in high-impact specialized journals are most likely to be cited in the field of implant dentistry.
引文分析是文献计量学的一个领域，它利用引文数据来评估一篇研究论文在科学界的科学认可度和影响力表现。本研究的目的是对种植牙领域被引用次数最多的文章进行文献计量分析，分析其主要特征，并展示最有趣的主题和发展趋势。
使用科学引文索引数据库确定发表在“牙科、口腔外科和医学”期刊上被引用次数最多的100篇文章。对这些文章进行进一步审查，并收集基本信息，包括引用次数、期刊、作者、发表年份、研究设计、证据水平和研究领域。
种植牙领域被高度引用的文章被引用次数在199次至2229次之间。其中大部分发表在四种主要期刊上：《临床口腔种植研究》《国际口腔颌面种植杂志》《临床牙周病学杂志》和《牙周病学杂志》。发表年份从1981年到2009年，45%的文章发表在9年期间（2001年至2009年）。来自美国的出版物（29%）被引用次数最多，其次是瑞典（23%）和瑞士（17%）。瑞典哥德堡大学发表的文章数量最多（n = 19），其次是瑞士伯尔尼大学（n = 13）。临床论文占主导地位（n = 42），其次是综述（n = 25）、基础科学研究（n = 21）和会议论文（n = 12）。种植体周围组织愈合与健康（24%）、种植体成功/失败（19.2%）和生物力学主题（16.8%）是最常见的研究领域。
种植牙领域的引文分析揭示了有关研究人员探讨的主题和趋势的有趣信息，并阐明了一篇论文获得“经典”地位所需的特征。发表在高影响力专业期刊上的临床科学文章在种植牙领域最有可能被引用。
