This study aimed to identify the 100 top-cited articles on dentin adhesives utilizing comprehensive bibliometric and altmetric analyses.
The Institute of Scientific Information Web of Knowledge database was used to compile the top-cited articles published from 1945 through February 12, 2023. Citation counts were manually retrieved for each article from Scopus, Google Scholar, Dimensions, and Altmetric. The articles were analyzed in terms of their number of citations, year, journal name, author (name, institution, and country), and type and specific field of study. We used descriptive statistics to summarize the results.
The analysis revealed that the top 100 cited articles originated from 18 English-language journals and collectively accumulated a remarkable 34526 citations. The article with the highest number of citations garnered 1288 references. Among authors, Van Meerbeek B. stood out with nine articles and 4650 citations, followed by Pashley D.H. with six articles and 2769 citations. Japan was the leading contributor by country, while the Catholic University of Leuven led in terms of institutions with 20 articles.
According to this study, basic research and review articles garnered the most citations, respectively. The citation analysis revealed different trends for researchers, the first being that researchers have focused on basic fields such as the ultramorphology of dentin and adhesive interfaces, followed by bond strength to dentin. Two studies on clinical experiences suggested that studies with high-level evidence, such as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or randomized controlled clinical trials, are required.
It is identified that more studies with high-level evidence-based research are needed in the field of dental adhesives.
本研究旨在利用全面的文献计量学和替代计量学分析，确定 100 篇关于牙本质黏结剂的高被引文章。
使用 Institute of Scientific Information Web of Knowledge 数据库，从 1945 年至 2023 年 2 月 12 日，编译发表的高被引文章。从 Scopus、Google Scholar、Dimensions 和 Altmetric 中手动检索每篇文章的引用次数。根据文章的引用次数、年份、期刊名称、作者（姓名、机构和国家）以及类型和具体研究领域进行分析。我们使用描述性统计来总结结果。
分析表明，排名前 100 的文章来自 18 种英语期刊，共获得 34526 次引用。引用次数最多的文章有 1288 次引用。在作者中，Van Meerbeek B. 以 9 篇文章和 4650 次引用位居榜首，其次是 Pashley D.H.，有 6 篇文章和 2769 次引用。从国家来看，日本是主要贡献者，而天主教鲁汶大学在机构方面以 20 篇文章位居榜首。
根据本研究，基础研究和综述文章分别获得了最多的引用。引文分析为研究人员揭示了不同的趋势，首先是研究人员关注基本领域，如牙本质的超微形态和黏附界面，其次是牙本质的黏结强度。两项关于临床经验的研究表明，需要进行基于高水平证据的研究，如系统评价、meta 分析或随机对照临床试验。
确定在牙本质黏结剂领域需要更多基于高水平证据的研究。
