BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The advent of digital technologies has significantly transformed the current dentistry, particularly in the fabrication of removable dental prostheses. A bibliometric analysis of literature may provide a direction of research hotspots and future trends in this field. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were retrieved from Web of Science database for the analysis of literature on digital technologies for removable dental prostheses. Microsoft Excel was used for the descriptive statistics. VOSviewer was deployed for the analysis of published articles. RESULTS: A total of 457 published documents were identified from 2004 to 2023. The most frequently published article type was original article (n = 262, 57.33%). The number of annual publications and citations significantly increased from 2004 to 2023, respectively ( for trend <0.001). In addition, the significant increased number of publications and citations pre year affected by COVID-19 pandemic were noted ( < 0.002). Most articles were published in Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (n = 141, 30.85%). The computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and 3D printing technique were the frequent emphasized keywords in digital technologies for removable dental prostheses. CONCLUSION: This bibliometric analysis revealed a growing research interest and technological progress in digital technologies for removable dental prostheses during past two decades. The enhancement of accuracy by CAD/CAM and 3D printing suggests a promising future for the application of these technologies in dental practice.
背景/目的:数字技术的出现显著改变了当前的牙科领域,尤其是在可摘义齿的制作方面。文献计量分析可能为该领域的研究热点和未来趋势提供方向。 材料与方法:从科学网数据库检索数据,以分析关于可摘义齿数字技术的文献。使用微软Excel进行描述性统计。部署VOSviewer对已发表文章进行分析。 结果:2004年至2023年共确定了457篇已发表文献。发表最多的文章类型是原创文章(n = 262,57.33%)。从2004年到2023年,年发表量和被引次数分别显著增加(趋势<0.001)。此外,还注意到受COVID-19大流行影响的年份之前发表量和被引次数显著增加(<0.002)。大多数文章发表在《口腔修复学杂志》(n = 141,30.85%)。计算机辅助设计(CAD)/计算机辅助制造(CAM)和3D打印技术是可摘义齿数字技术中经常被强调的关键词。 结论:这项文献计量分析揭示了过去二十年中可摘义齿数字技术的研究兴趣不断增加和技术进步。CAD/CAM和3D打印技术在精度方面的提高表明这些技术在牙科实践中的应用前景广阔。
