Purpose With an increase in patients' aesthetic demands and advancements in dental technologies, tooth-colored materials have grown in popularity. This study aimed to statistically analyze the scientific output of zirconia.Methods Articles published between 1980 and 2021 were downloaded from the Web of Science database and analyzed using various statistical/bibliometric methods. Correlations were evaluated using the Spearman's coefficient. Time-series forecasting was used to predict the number of articles in the coming years.Results Of the 18773 recordings, 16703 (88.9%) were articles. China contributed the most to the literature (n=3345, 20%). The Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most active institution (n=666). Furthermore, Ceramics International was the journal that published the most articles (N=611). The Journal of Catalysis was the journal with the highest average number of citations per article (average number of citations, 81.4). A high level of significant correlation was found between the number of articles produced by different countries on zirconia and gross domestic product (r=0.742, P<0.001).Conclusions It is expected that zirconia research will continue to increase parallel with the increase in aesthetic expectations. Recent trends include dental implants, resin cement, surface roughness, shear bond strength, monolithic zirconia, osseointegration, flexural strength, aging, geochemistry, zircon U-Pb dating, detrital zircon, adhesion, computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing, bond strength, adsorption, titanium, spark plasma sintering, corrosion, SEM, zirconium dioxide, surface modification, XRD, finite-element analysis, and yttria-stabilized zirconia. Clinicians and scientists interested in zirconia can refer to this comprehensive article as a useful resource for the relevant global and multidisciplinary outcomes.
目的 随着患者审美需求的增加和牙科技术的进步，牙齿色材料越来越受欢迎。本研究旨在对氧化锆的科学产出进行统计分析。
方法 从 Web of Science 数据库下载 1980 年至 2021 年期间发表的文章，并使用各种统计/文献计量学方法进行分析。使用 Spearman 系数评估相关性。时间序列预测用于预测未来几年的文章数量。
结果 在 18773 条记录中，有 16703 条（88.9%）为文章。中国对文献的贡献最大（n=3345，20%）。中国科学院是最活跃的机构（n=666）。此外，《国际陶瓷》是发表文章最多的期刊（N=611）。《催化学报》是每篇文章平均引用次数最高的期刊（平均引用次数为 81.4）。不同国家在氧化锆方面的文章数量与国内生产总值之间存在高度显著的相关性（r=0.742，P<0.001）。
结论 预计氧化锆研究将随着审美期望的增加而继续增加。最近的趋势包括牙科植入物、树脂水泥、表面粗糙度、剪切结合强度、整体氧化锆、骨整合、弯曲强度、老化、地球化学、铀-铅定年法、碎屑锆石、附着力、计算机辅助设计-计算机辅助制造、结合强度、吸附、钛、火花等离子烧结、腐蚀、扫描电子显微镜、二氧化锆、表面改性、X 射线衍射、有限元分析和钇稳定氧化锆。对氧化锆感兴趣的临床医生和科学家可以参考这篇综合文章，作为相关全球和多学科结果的有用资源。
