Abstract

OBJECTIVE

to assess the scientific profile of clinical trials utilizing universal adhesives in dentistry through a bibliometric and altmetric analysis.

METHODOLOGY

A search was conducted in May 2025 on Web of Science (WoS-CC) and Scopus. Two researchers selected articles and extracted key study characteristics. VOSviewer was used to generate bibliometric networks. Dimensions was consulted to measure altmetric data. Google Trends was consulted to investigate the global popularity of research. Spearman's correlation was used to evaluate the correlation of citations.

RESULTS

A total of 130 studies were included. The studies predominantly investigated clinical performance (n = 120) of universal adhesives in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) (n = 82), with a double-blind design (n = 77). The Journal of Dentistry (n = 26) stood out. The criteria of the World Dental Federation (FDI) were the most commonly used (n = 50), and the Scotchbond Universal adhesive was the most investigated product (n = 70). As an adhesive strategy, most studies used only the self-etch technique (n = 65). The majority of papers were published in Brazil (n = 60), with Loguercio AD (n = 34) and Reis A (n = 27) being the most frequent authors. VOSviewer revealed significant collaborations among authors. According to Dimensions, notable mentions were primarily identified on Mendeley.

CONCLUSIONS

Clinical studies on universal adhesives were primarily published by Brazilian authors and institutions, with the highest number of publications recorded in 2024. Most studies used Scotchbond Universal to restore NCCLs and assessed clinical performance.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

By identifying the most studied clinical conditions, products, methodologies, and publication trends, this bibliometric and altmetric analysis offers valuable insights to clinicians and researchers into the current scientific landscape of universal adhesives.

摘要

目的

通过文献计量学和替代计量学分析，评估牙科领域使用通用粘结剂的临床试验的科学概况。

方法

2025年5月在科学网（WoS-CC）和Scopus上进行检索。两名研究人员筛选文章并提取关键研究特征。使用VOSviewer生成文献计量网络。参考Dimensions来衡量替代计量数据。参考谷歌趋势调查研究的全球受欢迎程度。使用斯皮尔曼相关性评估引文的相关性。

结果

共纳入130项研究。这些研究主要调查通用粘结剂在非龋性颈部病变（NCCLs）修复中的临床性能（n = 120），其中非龋性颈部病变修复的研究有82项，采用双盲设计的有77项。《牙科杂志》（n = 26）表现突出。世界牙科联盟（FDI）的标准是最常用的（n = 50），Scotchbond Universal粘结剂是研究最多的产品（n = 70）。作为一种粘结策略，大多数研究仅使用自酸蚀技术（n = 65）。大多数论文发表在巴西（n = 60），Loguercio AD（n = 34）和Reis A（n = 27）是最频繁发表论文的作者。VOSviewer显示作者之间有显著的合作。根据Dimensions，显著提及主要在Mendeley上被识别。
