Abstract

Objective: In this bibliometric analysis, it was aimed to analyze the research trends of the researchers, organizations, countries, and journals that contributed to the research focus of resin cements in dentistry.
Methods: The literature search was carried out on the basis of the Web of Science (WoS) database containing publications on resin cements between 1970 and 2022. Metadata including titles, abstracts, keywords, authors, links, countries, and references has been recorded. The obtained data were analyzed using bibliometric indicators for all interactions and collaborations via the VOSviewer software program.
Results: As a result of the bibliometric analysis, 1643 studies published between 1970 and 2022 were found in the searches made in the Web of Science database. While publications on resin cements received a total of 26871 citations, this number corresponded to an average of 20.75 per article. The H index was found to be 71. The document type of these publications was 97.60% in the article type. While the most publications on resin cements are in the Journal of Adhesive Dentistry and Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, the most references are in the Dental Materials Journal and Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
Conclusion: Between 1983 and 2022, research on resin cements was on the rise. With the global increase in resin cement research, extensive collaborations and citations have been noted between authors, institutions, and countries or regions. It is predicted that resin cements will maintain their popularity in future studies.

Diş Hekimliğinde Rezin Simanların Araştırma Eğilimlerine Yönelik Bir Bibliyometrik Analiz

Abstract

Amaç : Bu bibliyometrik analizde, diş hekimliğinde kullanılan rezin simanların araştırma odağına katkıda bulunan araştırmacıların, kuruluşların, ülkelerin ve dergilerin araştırma eğilimlerini analiz etmek amaçlandı.
Yöntemler: Literatür taraması, 1970-2022 yılları arasında rezin simanlar alanında yayınların yer aldığı Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanına dayanarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Başlıklar, özetler, anahtar kelimeler, yazarlar, bağlantılar, ülkeler ve referanslar gibi meta veriler kaydedilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, WOSsviewer yazılım programı aracılığıyla tüm etkileşimler ve işbirlikleri için bibliyometrik göstergeler kullanılarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Bibliyometrik analiz sonucunda, Web of Science veri tabanında yapılan aramalarda 1970-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 1643 çalışma bulunmuştur. Rezin simanlar üzerine yayınlar toplam 26871 atıf alırken, bu sayı makale başına ortalama 20,75'e karşılık gelmektedir. H indeksi 71 olarak bulundu. Bu yayınların belge türü makale türünde %97,60’tı. Rezin simanlar üzerine en çok yayın Journal of Adhesive Dentistry ve Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry'de yer alırken, en çok referans Dental Materials Journal ve Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry'de yer almaktadır.
Sonuç: 1983 ile 2022 yılları arasında rezin simanlar üzerine yapılan araştırmalar artıştaydı. Rezin siman araştırmalarındaki küresel artışla birlikte yazarlar, kurumlar ve ülkeler veya bölgeler arasında kapsamlı işbirlikleri ve atıflar kaydedildi. Rezin simanlarının gelecekteki çalışmalarda popülerliğini sürdüreceği öngörülmektedir.
