A Comprehensive Analysis of Theses in Prosthodontics in Türkiye: A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to examine the distribution of theses published in the Department of Prosthodontics in the National Thesis Center of Türkiye between 2015 and 2025 according to year, university, thesis type, subject, methodology and academic titles of the supervisors using bibliometric analysis and to evaluate the current status and development trends of postgraduate research in the field. Material and Methods Doctoral and specialty theses completed in the field of Department of Prosthodontics between 2015 and 2025 and publicly accessible in the National Thesis Center of Türkiye were included in the study. Results A total of 1203 theses were completed in the field of prosthodontics between 2015 and 2025. Of these, 741 (61.60%) were specialty theses and 462 (38.40%) were doctoral theses. The year with the highest thesis production was 2022 (15.30%), while the lowest was 2016 (4.41%). The majority of theses were conducted at state universities (91.36%), whereas 8.64% were completed at foundation universities. In vitro studies constituted the majority of theses (84.05). When the subject distribution was examined, it was observed that dental materials and laboratory processes (23.36%), implant and implant-supported prosthetic applications (19.20%) and cementation and adhesive systems (14.96%) were the most frequently studied topics. In terms of the academic title of the supervisors, professors were found to be in the majority. In addition, 65.75% of the theses were prepared by female researchers. Conclusion The results indicate that a materials-focused and laboratory-oriented research profile in Prosthodontics is increasingly being shaped under the guidance of senior academics.
