Pediatric dentistry shares many skills with pediatrics. This review evaluates the amount of literature on pediatric dentistry in the first 30 pediatric journals classified by the Web of Science in 2019. The aim was to perform a quantitative analysis of the main dental topics addressed.
A scoping review with the PRISMA-ScR criteria was performed. The Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Report was consulted for journals ranked in the category "Pediatrics" in 2019. Papers were searched in PubMed using an ad hoc prepared string.
A total of 504 papers were included. Papers on dental hard tissues were the most prevalent (45.6%), followed by dental public health (23.2%), orofacial development (15.3%), soft tissues related conditions (12.3%), and orofacial trauma (3.6%). Increasing trends have been observed for total papers published (R = 0.9822) and total dental papers (R = 0.8862), with no statistically significant differences (χ(6) = 0.051 > 0.05). The majority of papers ( = 292, 57.9%) were cited between 1 and 10 times, whilst less than 7% of papers received more than 40 citations.
It is desirable that papers on pediatric dentistry increase in the pediatric scenario, allowing the two related disciplines to intertwine more in the future.
儿童牙科与儿科学有许多共同技能。本综述评估了2019年科学网分类的前30种儿科期刊中关于儿童牙科的文献数量。目的是对所涉及的主要牙科主题进行定量分析。
按照PRISMA-ScR标准进行了范围综述。查阅了科睿唯安期刊引证报告中2019年“儿科学”类别的期刊。在PubMed中使用专门编写的检索词搜索论文。
共纳入504篇论文。关于牙硬组织的论文最为普遍（45.6%），其次是牙科公共卫生（23.2%）、口腔颌面发育（15.3%）、软组织相关病症（12.3%）和口腔颌面创伤（3.6%）。已发表的论文总数（R = 0.9822）和牙科论文总数（R = 0.8862）呈上升趋势，无统计学显著差异（χ(6) = 0.051 > 0.05）。大多数论文（292篇，57.9%）被引用1至10次，而不到7%的论文被引用超过40次。
希望在儿科领域关于儿童牙科的论文有所增加，以便这两个相关学科在未来能更多地相互交织。
