The development trends in the literature, including leading authors, prominent studies, and institutions, were identified. Author collaborations and cited publications were analyzed to provide a structural roadmap for future research. Material and Method: A literature review was conducted using the Web of Science database, covering articles published in the last 10 years before June 5, 2025. As a result of pilot searches, 196 studies were reached. After the specified screening and filtering processes, a study was carried out on 93 publications. VOSviewer software was used for visualizations in the bibliometric analysis. Results: There has been a general increase in the number of articles published each year. The country with the highest number of publications on sustainability in dentistry (30 articles) and the highest number of citations (402 citations) was the UK. The most influential author was determined as Duane B. The highest contribution by the institution was provided by Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. In the keyword analysis, it was determined that the most frequently used terms were “sustainability”, “environmental sustainability”, and “green dentistry”. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis revealed that the number of publications and citations on sustainability in dentistry has increased significantly in recent years. The findings can guide researchers in identifying trends in the field and planning future studies.}, number={1}, publisher={Tıbbi Kayıtlar Derneği}
