Abstract
Statement of problem: Implant-supported removable partial dentures (RPDs) are an effective treatment, but an overview of publication trends on this topic is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this publication overview of implant-supported RPDs, focusing on study design, citations trends, journals impact factor, and literature gaps.
Material and methods: Data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoSCC) until November 2024. Articles reporting clinical trials, case reports, in vitro studies, and reviews were included. Quantitative differences in impact factor and citations for retentive component and study designs were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD. Factors influencing citation counts were also considered with a Poisson regression model (α=.05).
Results: A total of 155 articles published from 1974 to 2024 were analyzed, showing a significant publication rise in the last decade (n=112; 72.3%). The impact factor ranged from 1.7 to 4.8, with prospective (n=49) and in vitro (n=40) studies the majority. Japan led in contributions (n=24), and the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (n=19) had the most articles. The citations number was influenced by study type and retentive component, with prospective and RCT studies and frictional components receiving the highest citations. No significant differences were found in impact factor (P>.05).
Conclusions: Gaps exist regarding the long-term performance, function, and cost-benefit of implant-supported RPDs and more randomized clinical studies involving periodontal health, prosthesis complications, digital manufacturing, and treatment patients with Kennedy Classes III and IV are needed.
