The uncooperative behavior of children in the dental office has increased the demand for pharmacological behavior management techniques. Moderate sedation is more effective by providing analgesia and anxiolysis, thereby aiding in carrying out the most comfortable, efficient, and high-quality dental services. There is a need to understand the various aspects such as the choice of drug, method of drug administration, safety, and efficacy. Bibliometrics can reveal significant shifts in research and publication trends. Therefore, this study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the literature on evolving trends in conscious sedation at pediatric dental offices. The bibliometric research used RStudio 2021.09.0+351 for Windows (RStudio, Boston, MA), package "bibliometrix," and VOS viewer software (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands. https://www.vosviewer.com). Elsevier's Scopus database (www.scopus.com) provided the literary data for this study, which were exported in BibTex format. The articles were independently categorized according to the following aspects: (a) annual scholarly output; (b) leading countries or regions; (c) leading journals; (d) productive authors; (e) citations; (f) study design; and (g) distribution of topics. The findings considered 1996 through 2022 and used journals, books, articles, and other sources, totaling 1064 papers, with an average of 10.7 per year. According to the findings, the United States, the United Kingdom, and India were principally leading the field of conscious sedation research. In total, 2433 authors were found through the search. The study identified the nations that are currently researching the topics such as midazolam and nitrous-oxide; this paves the way for future partnerships to strengthen the evidence generated in other topic areas using novel sedatives and exploring the different routes of drug administration, thereby benefiting the scientific community by identifying knowledge gaps and experts in this area of research.
儿童在牙科诊所的不合作行为增加了对药物行为管理技术的需求。中度镇静通过提供镇痛和抗焦虑作用更为有效,从而有助于提供最舒适、高效和高质量的牙科服务。有必要了解药物选择、给药方法、安全性和疗效等各个方面。文献计量学可以揭示研究和出版趋势的重大变化。因此,本研究旨在对儿科牙科诊所清醒镇静发展趋势的文献进行文献计量分析。文献计量研究使用适用于Windows的RStudio 2021.09.0+351(RStudio,马萨诸塞州波士顿)、“bibliometrix”软件包和VOS viewer软件(荷兰莱顿大学科学技术研究中心。https://www.vosviewer.com)。爱思唯尔的Scopus数据库(www.scopus.com)为本研究提供文献数据,并以BibTex格式导出。文章根据以下方面进行独立分类:(a)年度学术产出;(b)主要国家或地区;(c)主要期刊;(d)高产作者;(e)引用情况;(f)研究设计;(g)主题分布。研究结果考虑了1996年至2022年期间,使用了期刊、书籍、文章和其他来源,共计1064篇论文,平均每年10.7篇。根据研究结果,美国、英国和印度在清醒镇静研究领域处于领先地位。通过搜索共找到2433位作者。该研究确定了目前正在研究咪达唑仑和一氧化二氮等主题的国家;这为未来的合作奠定了基础,通过使用新型镇静剂加强其他主题领域产生的证据,并探索不同的给药途径,从而通过识别该研究领域的知识空白和专家使科学界受益。
