This study analyzes the characteristics of the top-100 most cited articles published in international dental journals with at least one coauthor affiliated to Brazil. A search in Scopus database for articles published between 1996 and 2017 was carried out in the 178 journals belonging to the category "Dentistry" identified in SCImago Journals & Country Rank. From the top-100 most cited articles, variables related to the journal, article, and authors were collected. Annual citation averages (ACA) and relative citation ratios (RCR) were calculated. Data were analyzed descriptively. There were 75 original reports and 25 reviews in the sample. The number of citations ranged between 124 and 657 (mean=202, median=168). The papers were published in 31 different journals (46% in only four journals), none based in Brazil. The most frequent subjects (61%) were Dental Materials, Endodontics, and Periodontology, which accounted for 63.6% of the total citations. The subject with the highest ACA was Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the subject with the highest RCR was Oral Radiology. Only 12 articles were cited more than 300 times. International collaboration was present in 61 articles and funding was reported in 49 articles. The first author was from Brazil in 70% and corresponding author in 55% of the papers. Southeast (83%) and South (20%) were the regions of Brazil with most presence of coauthors. This top-100 list is presented to provide an overview of the most cited articles and aid in supporting further analyses regarding publication and citation behaviors of Brazilian dentistry.
本研究分析了国际牙科期刊上发表的被引用次数排名前100的文章的特征，这些文章至少有一位共同作者隶属于巴西。在Scopus数据库中对1996年至2017年期间发表在SCImago期刊与国家排名中确定的“牙科”类别的178种期刊上的文章进行了检索。从被引用次数排名前100的文章中，收集了与期刊、文章和作者相关的变量。计算了年度平均引用次数（ACA）和相对引用率（RCR）。对数据进行了描述性分析。样本中有75篇原始报告和25篇综述。引用次数在124至657之间（平均=202，中位数=168）。这些论文发表在31种不同的期刊上（46%发表在仅四种期刊上），没有一本是巴西的期刊。最常见的主题（61%）是牙科材料、牙髓病学和牙周病学，它们占总引用次数的63.6%。ACA最高的主题是口腔颌面外科，RCR最高的主题是口腔放射学。只有12篇文章被引用超过300次。61篇文章存在国际合作，49篇文章报告了资金情况。70%的论文第一作者来自巴西，55%的论文通讯作者来自巴西。东南部（83%）和南部（20%）是巴西共同作者出现最多的地区。列出这前100篇文章是为了概述被引用最多的文章，并有助于支持对巴西牙科领域的出版和引用行为进行进一步分析。
