BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested that some opportunistic periodontal pathobionts have oncogenic properties. However, few bibliometric studies investigate the relationship between periodontitis and gastrointestinal cancer. This bibliometric study aimed to analyze these epidemiological studies conducted between 2014 and 2023 to guide future research. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In March 2024, the Scopus database was explored. The articles selected were subjected to a bibliometric analysis of study designs, trends in annual scientific production, and networks of collaboration among countries. Furthermore, the most outstanding countries, academic institutions, authors and journals with the most significant number of publications and the top most cited articles were analyzed. For this purpose, Microsoft Excel, SPSS and VOSviewer 1.6.20 were used. RESULTS: A total of 123 documents were included for analysis. China contributed the most significant number of publications (33 articles) and the United States had the most significant number of citations (2709). Weimin Ye (h-index:81) and Dominique Michaud (h-index:73) were the most prolific authors (5 articles); Dominique Michaud also had the most citations (470). International Journal of Cancer was the journal with the highest number of articles published (6), in addition to being the publication that had the most citations of these articles (409). Tufts University in the United States had the highest number of citations. CONCLUSIONS: Between 2014 and 2023, 123 articles on the relationship between periodontitis and gastrointestinal cancer were published. The largest scientific production was found in China, and the most cited articles were those from the United States. Likewise, the research design most commonly used was the cross-sectional type.
