Abstract

Background: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has improved diagnosis and treatment planning in paediatric dentistry, but no bibliometric studies have examined the research landscape. This study provides an overview regarding the role of CBCT in paediatric dentistry.

Methods: A bibliometric review was conducted using articles from the Web of Science database. The search was performed on 22 February 2024, including publications up to that date. Conference papers and editorials were excluded. Data extracted included citation counts, publication dates, journals, impact factors, study designs, topics, geographical and institutional affiliations, authors, and keywords. Collaborative networks were visualised using VOSviewer, and Spearman's correlation assessed the relationship between citation counts and other variables.

Results: The review analysed 517 articles, with the most cited receiving 557 citations. Publication dates ranged from 2005 to 2024, with a peak in 2023. Observational studies were the most common, particularly on maxillary expansion. The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics was the most cited journal, and the USA was a major contributor. Jacobs R authored the most articles (n=19), and the University of Alberta led in institutional output. Spearman's correlation showed a weak positive correlation between citation count and journal impact factor (rho=0.272, p<0.001) and a strong negative correlation with publication year (rho=-0.762, p<0.001).

Conclusions: This bibliometric review provides an overview of the use of CBCT in paediatric dentistry, particularly in maxillary expansion. The findings suggest that more specific imaging protocols may improve safety and clinical outcomes, and that further investigation of long-term outcomes may provide valuable insights.

锥形束计算机断层扫描在牙科中的使用的全球概述：一项以儿科患者为重点的文献计量学综述。

背景：锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）改善了儿科牙科的诊断和治疗计划，但没有文献计量学研究检查了研究前景。本研究概述了CBCT在儿科牙科中的作用。方法：使用Web of Science数据库中的文章进行文献计量学综述。检索于2024年2月22日进行，包括截至该日期的出版物。会议论文和社论被排除在外。提取的数据包括引文计数、出版日期、期刊、影响因子、研究设计、主题、地理和机构隶属关系、作者和关键词。使用VOSviewer可视化协作网络，Spearman的相关性评估了引用数与其他变量之间的关系。结果：本综述分析了517篇文献，被引次数最多的文献被引用557次。出版日期从2005年到2024年不等，2023年达到顶峰。观察性研究是最常见的，特别是上颌扩张。《美国正畸与牙面矫形学杂志》是被引用次数最多的杂志，美国是主要贡献者。Jacobs R撰写的文章最多（n=19），阿尔伯塔大学在机构产出方面领先。Spearman相关显示引文数量与期刊影响因子之间存在弱正相关（rho=0.272）。结论：本文献计量学综述概述了CBCT在儿科牙科，特别是上颌扩张中的应用。研究结果表明，更具体的成像方案可能会提高安全性和临床结果，对长期结果的进一步调查可能会提供有价值的见解。
