To perform a bibliometric study in the literature about the increasing number of global studies on dental esthetics in recent years.
Articles on dental esthetics published between 1980 and 2021 were pulled from the Web of Science (WoS) database. In this comprehensive bibliometric study on dental esthetics, a summary of 2,858 articles published in the last 41 years was shared. Network visualization maps were used to identify citation analyses and trending topics. Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation studies. The exponential smoothing estimator was used to estimate the number of articles to be published in the coming years.
Of the 3,666 publications, 2,858 (77.9%) were articles. The top three contributing countries to the literature were the USA (816, 28.5%), Brazil (286, 10%), and Italy (246, 8.6%). The most active institution was the University of Bern (n = 55). The journal with the highest number of articles was Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (n = 178). According to the average number of citations per article, the most influential journal was Journal of Periodontology (citations: 55.6).
Keywords of the trending topics related to dental esthetics are perception, bleaching, cleft lip, connective tissue graft, smile esthetics, adolescent, esthetic region, soft tissue augmentation, and clinical studies. In regard to the global output in dental esthetics, this article is a useful resource for clinicians, scientists, and dental students.
对近年来全球口腔美学研究数量不断增加的文献进行计量学研究。
从 Web of Science（WoS）数据库中提取了 1980 年至 2021 年间发表的关于口腔美学的文章。在这项关于口腔美学的综合计量学研究中，分享了过去 41 年发表的 2858 篇文章的总结。使用网络可视化地图来识别引文分析和趋势主题。使用 Spearman 相关系数进行相关研究。使用指数平滑估计器来估计未来几年将要发表的文章数量。
在 3666 篇出版物中，2858 篇（77.9%）是文章。对文献贡献最大的三个国家是美国（816 篇，28.5%）、巴西（286 篇，10%）和意大利（246 篇，8.6%）。最活跃的机构是伯尔尼大学（n = 55）。发表文章数量最多的期刊是《修复牙科学杂志》（n = 178）。根据每篇文章的平均引文数，最有影响力的期刊是《牙周病学杂志》（引文：55.6）。
与口腔美学相关的热门主题的关键词是感知、漂白、唇裂、结缔组织移植、微笑美学、青少年、美学区域、软组织增强和临床研究。就全球口腔美学的产出而言，本文对临床医生、科学家和牙科学生来说是一个有用的资源。
