Photodynamic therapy is garnering increasing attention in oral science. Despite its promising potential, further exploration is warranted to delve into the research paradigms and evolving trends within oral science. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of photodynamic therapy in oral science (PDTOS), investigating research landscapes, identifying key contributors, analyzing collaborative networks, pinpointing emerging research directions, and exploring factors influencing high citations.
Research and review articles in PDTOS were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database up to December 31, 2023. The R package "bibliometrix" and VOSviewer were utilized for visualizing collaboration networks and keyword co-occurrence, alongside trend analysis. Negative binomial regression was used to model factors affecting citation counts.
A total of 2784 articles with significant international collaboration (23.14 %) were analyzed. Brazil, China, the USA, Iran, and Italy led in publications, with predominant USA-European collaborations. The University of Sao Paulo in Brazil was the most published institution in the field. Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy was the core journal in the field and has the highest number of publications. The main research fields included photodynamic therapy, antibacterial and anticancer treatment, management, and peri‑implant periodontitis, with a recent focus on peri‑implantitis. Factors such as international cooperation, funding, article age, type, author count, and references significantly influenced citations.
This research provided valuable insights into PDTOS trends and knowledge structures. These findings underscored a significant increase in the number of PDTOS publications, urging strengthened international cooperation. Emerging research has focused on peri‑implantitis and nano-photosensitizer materials. Authors should consider various citation-related factors in their research endeavors.
光动力疗法在口腔科学中越来越受到关注。尽管它具有广阔的应用前景，但需要进一步深入研究，以探索口腔科学中的研究范式和不断发展的趋势。因此，本研究旨在对口腔科学中的光动力疗法（PDTOS）进行全面的文献计量学分析，研究该领域的研究现状，确定主要贡献者，分析合作网络，确定新兴研究方向，并探讨影响高引用率的因素。
从 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中检索截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日发表的 PDTOS 研究和综述文章。使用 R 包“bibliometrix”和 VOSviewer 可视化合作网络和关键词共现，并进行趋势分析。使用负二项回归模型来模拟影响引文数量的因素。
共分析了 2784 篇具有显著国际合作（23.14%）的文章。巴西、中国、美国、伊朗和意大利在发表文章方面处于领先地位，主要是美国与欧洲的合作。巴西的圣保罗大学是该领域发表文章最多的机构。《光诊断与光动力疗法》是该领域的核心期刊，发表文章数量最多。主要研究领域包括光动力疗法、抗菌和抗癌治疗、管理以及种植体周围牙周炎，近期关注重点是种植体周围炎。国际合作、资助、文章年龄、类型、作者数量和参考文献等因素对引文数量有显著影响。
本研究为 PDTOS 趋势和知识结构提供了有价值的见解。这些发现突显了 PDTOS 出版物数量的显著增加，呼吁加强国际合作。新兴研究集中在种植体周围炎和纳米光敏剂材料上。作者在研究工作中应考虑各种与引文相关的因素。
