Many articles on bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been published. Bibliometric analysis is helpful to determine the most influential studies in a specific field. This bibliometric analysis is aimed at identifying and analyzing the top 50 most-cited articles on the dental applications of BMPs.
An electronic search was conducted using the Web of Science (WoS) "All Databases" without any restriction of language, study design, or publication year. Of 1341 publications, the top 50 were included based on their citation count. After downloading the full texts, their bibliometric data including publication title, authorship, citation count, current citation index 2019, citation density, year of publication, country and institution of origin, journal of publication, type of BMP, study design, evidence level of publication, and keywords were extracted and analyzed.
The citation counts for the top 50 publications ranged from 81 to 557 (median 113.5). The most prolific year was 1997 ( = 7). Wikesjö UM ( = 12) and Wozney JM ( = 11) were the major contributors in this study. Most of the articles were generated primarily from the USA ( = 24), with Loma Linda University Medical Center, USA being the most prolific institution ( = 5). Majority of the articles were published in the and , with nine publications each. Most of the publications were animal studies ( = 30) and focused on BMP-2 ( = 39). Most of the articles were within evidence level V ( = 36). The most frequently used keyword in the top articles was "bone regeneration" ( = 23).
The present study presents insights into the past and recent trends in the applications of BMPs in dentistry. A statistically significant association was observed between citation count, citation density, and age of publication.
已经发表了许多关于骨形态发生蛋白（BMPs）的文章。文献计量分析有助于确定特定领域最有影响力的研究。本文献计量分析旨在确定 BMP 牙科应用的前 50 篇最具引用价值的文章，并对其进行分析。
使用 Web of Science（WoS）“所有数据库”进行电子检索，不限制语言、研究设计或出版年份。在 1341 篇出版物中，根据其引用计数，选择前 50 篇进行收录。下载全文后，提取并分析其书目数据，包括出版物标题、作者、引用计数、2019 年当前引用指数、引用密度、出版年份、来源国和机构、出版期刊、BMP 类型、研究设计、出版物的证据水平和关键词。
前 50 篇出版物的引用计数范围为 81 至 557（中位数为 113.5）。最丰富的年份是 1997 年（ = 7）。Wikesjö UM（ = 12）和 Wozney JM（ = 11）是本研究的主要贡献者。这些文章主要来自美国（ = 24），其中美国林达大学医学中心的发文量最多（ = 5）。大部分文章发表在 和 期刊上，各有 9 篇。大部分文章为动物研究（ = 30），且聚焦于 BMP-2（ = 39）。大部分文章属于证据水平 V（ = 36）。前 50 篇文章中最常使用的关键词是“骨再生”（ = 23）。
本研究提供了关于 BMP 在牙科中应用的过去和近期趋势的见解。引用计数、引用密度和出版年龄之间存在显著的统计学关联。
