This study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited papers in the field of oral medicine and pathology over time, identifying the areas of more intense research. Papers in journals of oral medicine and pathology were identified using the Web of Science database. The specified research period was between 1900 and 2019. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to explore the relationships among Web of Science citations, Dimensions citations, and Altmetric Attention Score. The number of citations of an article in the top 100 most-cited papers published in 1953 or later ranged from 541 to 3623. The papers were published in 47 different journals. The New England Journal of Medicine, American Cancer Society, and Nature Genetics published the most papers. Authors from 18 different countries published papers on head and neck cancer, craniofacial congenital anomalies, and osteonecrosis. Most of the papers were laboratory and descriptive studies. A correlation analysis showed a strong correlation only between Web of Science and Dimensions citations. In sum, although non-specific journals for pathology and oral medicine published the majority of the 100 most-cited papers, this biometric citation study show that head and neck cancer was the issue with the most citations. Together, these results make an important scientific contribution by providing a historical perspective on the research carried out.
本研究旨在分析口腔医学和病理学领域 100 篇被引频次最高的论文，以确定研究热点领域。使用 Web of Science 数据库检索口腔医学和病理学期刊上的论文。指定的研究时间为 1900 年至 2019 年。采用描述性统计方法对数据进行分析。采用 Pearson 相关分析探讨 Web of Science 引文、Dimensions 引文和 Altmetric Attention Score 之间的关系。1953 年及以后发表的前 100 篇高被引论文中，每篇论文的引文数从 541 条到 3623 条不等。这些论文发表在 47 种不同的期刊上。《新英格兰医学杂志》《美国癌症协会》和《自然遗传学》发表的论文最多。来自 18 个不同国家的作者发表了关于头颈部癌症、颅面先天畸形和骨坏死的论文。大多数论文为实验室和描述性研究。相关性分析显示，Web of Science 和 Dimensions 引文之间仅存在很强的相关性。总之，尽管病理学和口腔医学的非特定期刊发表了 100 篇高被引论文中的大部分，但这项生物计量引文研究表明，头颈部癌症是被引频次最高的问题。这些结果共同提供了对所开展研究的历史视角，做出了重要的科学贡献。
