To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers in dentistry for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
A search strategy was constructed and conducted at the Web of Science in the category of "Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine". The following information was extracted from each paper: title, authorship, year of publication, title of the journal, study subject, study design, age range of sample participants, type of disability, institution, country and continent, number of citations and citation density. Google Scholar and Scopus were used to crosscheck the number of citations of the most-cited papers. The VOSviewer software was used to generate bibliometric network maps. The papers received 4453 citations in Web of Science, ranging from 30 to 106 citations. Most papers were published by the USA (35%), had an observational design (78%) and the main subject was epidemiology (31%). Most studies focused on individuals with Down syndrome (34%) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (18%) and were published in the Journal of Periodontology (10%) and the Pediatric Dentistry Journal (7%).
Most of the studies included in this review were characterized as epidemiological studies. Future research should focus on behavior guidance, dental education, and access to dental services.
对神经发育障碍患者牙科领域被引用次数最多的前100篇论文进行文献计量分析。
在Web of Science的“牙科、口腔外科和医学”类别中构建并实施检索策略。从每篇论文中提取以下信息：标题、作者、发表年份、期刊标题、研究主题、研究设计、样本参与者的年龄范围、残疾类型、机构、国家和大陆、被引用次数和引用密度。使用谷歌学术和Scopus对被引用次数最多的论文的被引用次数进行交叉核对。使用VOSviewer软件生成文献计量网络图。这些论文在Web of Science中获得了4453次引用，引用次数从30次到106次不等。大多数论文由美国发表（35%），采用观察性设计（78%），主要主题是流行病学（31%）。大多数研究聚焦于唐氏综合征患者（34%）和自闭症谱系障碍患者（18%），且发表在《牙周病学杂志》（10%）和《儿童牙科杂志》（7%）上。
本综述纳入的大多数研究为流行病学研究。未来的研究应聚焦于行为指导、牙科教育以及牙科服务的可及性。
