The global scientific literature in dentistry has shown important advances in the field, with major contributions ranging from the analysis of the basic epidemiological aspects of prevention to specialised results in the field of dental treatments. The present investigation aimed to analyse the current state of the scientific literature on dentistry hosted in the Web of Science database. The methodology included two phases in the analysis of articles and indexed reviews in all thematic areas. During the first phase, the following variables were analysed: scientific production by the publisher, the evolution of scientific output published by publishers, the factors associated with the impact of scientific production, and the modelling of the impact of scientific production on dentistry. During the second phase, associations, evolutions, and trends in the use of keywords in the scientific literature in dentistry were analysed. The first phase shows that scientific production in dentistry will increase between 2010 and 2021, reaching 12,126 articles in 2021. Publishers such as Wiley and Elsevier stand out, but Quintessence Publishing has the most citations. Factors such as pages, authors, and references influence the number of citations. Phase 2 analyzes trends in the dental literature using the WoS database. Topics such as "dental education", "pediatric dentistry", and "pandemic" stand out. The intersection of technology and dentistry and the importance of evidence-based education are highlighted. In conclusion, the study shows that the most studied topics include the association of dental education and the curriculum, the association of pediatric dentistry with oral health, and dental care. The findings show that more recently emphasised topics also stand out, such as evidence-based dentistry, the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control, and endodontics, as well as the need for future research to expand current knowledge based on emerging topics in the scientific literature on dentistry.
全球牙科学术文献显示该领域取得了重要进展，主要贡献范围从预防的基本流行病学方面的分析到牙科治疗领域的专业成果。本研究旨在分析 Web of Science 数据库中收录的牙科学术文献的现状。该方法包括对所有主题领域的文章和索引综述进行两阶段分析。在第一阶段，分析了以下变量：出版商的科学产出、出版商发表的科学产出的演变、与科学产出影响相关的因素，以及科学产出对牙科影响的建模。在第二阶段，分析了牙科学术文献中关键词的使用关联、演变和趋势。第一阶段表明，2010 年至 2021 年期间，牙科学术产出将增加，2021 年达到 12126 篇文章。Wiley 和 Elsevier 等出版商表现突出，但 Quintessence Publishing 的引用量最多。页数、作者和参考文献等因素会影响引用次数。第二阶段使用 WoS 数据库分析牙科学术文献的趋势。“牙科教育”、“儿科牙科”和“大流行”等主题突出。技术与牙科的交叉以及循证教育的重要性得到强调。总之，该研究表明，研究最多的主题包括牙科教育和课程的关联、儿科牙科与口腔健康的关联以及牙科保健。研究结果表明，最近强调的主题也很突出，如循证牙科、COVID-19 大流行、感染控制和牙髓病学，以及需要未来的研究来扩展当前基于牙科学术文献中新兴主题的知识。
