Bibliometric is a quantitative assessment method to identify prevailing trends and patterns of publications in a particular field of study. Systematic Reviews (SRs) give an in-depth study of the literature and the most comprehensive overview of the desired research subject. This study aimed to review the bibliometric properties of SRs published by the dentists of Saudi Arabia. Relevant dataset of SRs on dentistry with at least one author affiliated with Saudi Arabia from PubMed database was obtained. Each document of the retrieved data was screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The citation metric was collected from Google Scholar. A total of 625 SRs published from the year 2007 to 2023 were included. The average number of citations for each of these SRs is 25.54. Though a low productivity was observed until 2017, the number of SRs published has increased in the previous three years. SRs in Prosthodontics were the most prevalent. The SRs with the first author from Saudi Arabia and internationally collaborated gained a higher citation impact. Most of the SRs were published in the Saudi Dental Journal. Authors from King Saud University contributed to more than a quarter of the SRs. The two nations that collaborated the most SRs were found to be United States and India. Over the last three years, there has been significant progress in the publishing of SRs from Saudi Arabia. The bibliometric parameters identified in this study support researchers in understanding the current status of SRs publication. There is a need to increase awareness about the importance of high-evidence research in dentistry and enhance the training opportunities as well as research incentives for this kind of scientific production.

An innovative biomechanical procedure for preparing bone for dental implant placement is called osseodensification. The current study evaluated the bibliometric attributes of the research performance on osseodensification. We utilized the osseodensification database that we obtained from the Scopus, Web of science, PubMed, ScienceDriect, and Cochrane Library databases to perform retrospective bibliometric study. The data was searched during April 16, 2024, with the search term “Versah” OR “Densah” OR “Osseodensification”. We identified 114 records on the Scopus database, 88 records on Web of Science, 90, 54 and 62 records on PubMed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library, respectively. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, removed the duplicate and irrelevant records (n = 286), and 122 articles were considered for analysis. The year of publications with citations, publishing channels, top contributing countries, institutions, authors, authorship patterns and the attributes of top-10 most cited articles were quantified from the bibliometric parameters of the articles. For the data analysis, Microsoft Excel (v.16) software (Redmond, Washington) was applied. A bibliometric analysis of 122 osseodensification research articles published between 2016 and 2024 revealed key trends. The United States was the leading contributor, followed by Brazil and Italy. The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (n = 9) and Implant Dentistry (n = 74.20 citations/article) were the most prolific journals. While the United States had the highest number of articles (n = 46), Romania demonstrated the highest citation impact per article (27.80 citations/article). Collaboration between institutions, particularly between two, was associated with the highest citations. Most authors contributed to a single article, with an average of nearly five authors (4.79) per article. Rodrigo Neiva was identified as the most prolific author. The top 10 most-cited articles accounted for almost half (48.56%) of all citations. Osseodensification is a potential procedure in implant dentistry with promising prospects for improving implant success rates.
