Abstract

Amaç: Diş hekimliği alanında polietereterketon (PEEK) araştırmalarındaki gelişmeleri değerlendirmektir.
Yöntemler: Tarama, Web of Science veritabanında gerçekleştirildi ve 2023 yılına kadar PEEK ile ilgili yayınlar dahil edildi. Kullanılan arama dizisi, birincil odak terimi olan "PEEK" ile "dent*", "oral, restorat*", "prosthodont*", "tooth, teeth, and implant*" gibi ek anahtar sözcüklerden oluşuyordu. Başlıkları, özetleri, anahtar kelimeleri, yazarları, bağlantıları, ülkeleri ve referansları kapsayan meta veriler elde edildi. Belgeler, yazarlar, dergiler ve anahtar kelimeler de dahil olmak üzere bibliyometrik ölçümler tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analize tabi tutuldu.
Bulgular: 1997-2022 yılları arasında PEEK ile ilgili 607 yayına 12.115 atıf yapıldığı tespit edildi. PEEK araştırmalarına Çin (138 makale, %22,7), Almanya (118 makale, %19,4) ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nden (71 makale, %11,8) akademisyenler aktif olarak katıldı ve Almanya'daki yayınlar (3594 atıf, %29,7) en çok atıfı aldı. Dental Materials (45 makale, %7,4) ve Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (42 makale, %6,9) katkıda bulunan başlıca dergiler oldu. 1433 anahtar kelime arasında uygulama, materyal ve üretimle ilgili anahtar kelimeler yüksek oranda normalleştirilmiş atıfa sahipti. Terim haritası, PEEK'in temel uygulamasının dental implantlar ile ilgili olduğunu ortaya çıkardı.
Sonuç: Bu analiz, PEEK ve onun çeşitli uygulamalarıyla ilgili yayın ve atıf sayısına ilişkin önemli bilgiler sağlamaktadır. Çin, bu alanda en fazla makale yayınlayan en önemli katılımcı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Özellikle İsviçre'deki Zürih Üniversitesi hem üretkenlik hem de etki açısından bu alanda önde gelen kurum olarak öne çıkmıştır.

Knowledge Mapping of Polyetheretherketone in Dentistry: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Objective: To assess advancements in polyetheretherketone (PEEK) research within the field of dentistry.
Methods: The search was conducted within the Web of Science database and included publications related to PEEK through 2023. The search string utilized comprised the primary focus term "PEEK" and additional keywords such as "dent*", "oral, restorat*", "prosthodont*", and "tooth, teeth, and implant*". Metadata encompassing titles, abstracts, keywords, authors, affiliations, countries, and references were extracted. Bibliometric metrics, including documents, authors, journals, and keywords, were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis.
Results: Between 1997 and 2022, 607 publications on PEEK were found to have 12,115 citations. Scholars in China (138 articles, 22.7%), Germany (118 articles, 19.4%), and the United States (71 articles, 11.8%) actively participated in the research on PEEK, and publications from Germany (3594 citations, 29.7%) had the most citations. Dental Materials (45 articles, 7.4%) and the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (42 articles, 6.9%) were the major contributing journals. Among 1433 keywords, application-, material- and manufacturing-related keywords yielded highly normalized citations. The term map revealed that the major application of PEEK was related to dental implants.
Conclusion: This analysis yielded crucial insights into the overall number of publications and citations related to PEEK and its diverse applications. China has emerged as the predominant contributor in this field, publishing the greatest number of articles. Notably, the University of Zurich from Switzerland stood out as the foremost institute in terms of both productivity and impact.
