Current bibliometric analyses of the evolving trends in research scope category across different time periods using the H-classics method in implantology are considerably limited. The purpose of this study was to identify the classic articles in implantology to analyse bibliometric characteristics and associated factors in implantology for the past four decades. H-Classics in implantology were identified within four time periods between 1977 and 2016, based on the h-index from the Scopus database. For each article, the principal bibliometric parameters of authorship, geographic origin, country origin, and institute origin, collaboration, centralisation, article type, scope of study and other associated factors were analysed in four time periods. A significant increase in mean numbers of authors per H-Classics was found across time. Both Europe and North America were the most productive region/country and steadily dominated this field in each time period. Collaborations of author, internationally and inter-institutionally had significantly increased across time. A significant decentralisation in authorships, institutes and journals was noted in past four decades. The journal of Clinical Oral Implant Researches has raised its importance for almost 30 years (1987-2016). Research on Complications, peri-implant infection/pathology/therapy had been increasing in production throughout each period. This is the first study to evaluate research trends in implantology in the past 40 years using the H-classics method, which through analysing via principle bibliometric characteristics reflected a historical perspective on evolutionary mainstream in the field. Prominence of research regarding complications may forecast innovative advancements in future.
目前，运用口腔种植学中的H-经典方法对不同时间段研究范围类别的演变趋势进行的文献计量分析相当有限。本研究的目的是识别口腔种植学领域的经典文章，以分析过去四十年中口腔种植学的文献计量特征及相关因素。基于Scopus数据库中的h指数，在1977年至2016年的四个时间段内识别出了口腔种植学领域的H-经典文章。对于每篇文章，分析了四个时间段内作者身份、地理来源、国家来源、机构来源、合作情况、集中化程度、文章类型、研究范围及其他相关因素等主要文献计量参数。研究发现，每篇H-经典文章的平均作者数量随时间显著增加。欧洲和北美一直是最具生产力的地区/国家，并且在每个时间段内都稳定地主导着该领域。作者之间的国际合作和机构间合作随时间显著增加。在过去四十年中，作者、机构和期刊的分布出现了显著的分散化。《临床口腔种植研究》杂志在近30年（1987 - 2016年）间重要性不断提升。在每个时期，关于并发症、种植体周围感染/病理学/治疗的研究产出都在增加。这是第一项运用H-经典方法评估过去40年口腔种植学研究趋势的研究，该研究通过分析主要文献计量特征，反映了该领域演变主流的历史视角。关于并发症的研究突出可能预示着未来的创新进展。
