Abstract

Objective: Finite element stress analysis is a method in which stress formation on tissues and materials of any structure and shape can be analyzed. In this study, it is aimed to make a biblio- metric analysis of studies in prosthetic dentistry using finite element stress analysis in TR Index.
Materials and Methods: Articles were obtained by searching the “finite element” keyword in the TR Index. Dentistry journals were filtered and studies were reduced to the field of dentistry. The publications were classified and recorded to include the journal name, publication year, author institutions, departments, article type, article language, and number of citations. Publications in the field of prosthetic dentistry were included in this study. Frequency analysis of the data, desc- riptive statistics and Mann–Whitney U test were performed (α = 0.05).
Results: Twenty-seven studies, including 2 reviews and 25 research articles, were reached. It was seen that the most publications were in the Journal of Dental Faculty of Atatürk University and Cumhuriyet Dental Journal. Post core restorations, all-ceramic crowns, maxillofacial prostheses, and implant-sup- ported prostheses were the subject of the studies, 13 of which were in Turkish and 14 in English.
Conclusion: Finite element stress analysis is a preferred method in prosthetic dentistry studies. The field of implantology stands out in this sense. National studies using this method have shown a significant increase in the last decade. The language had no significant effect on the number of citations of the publications.
