Abstract

Objective: The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to investigate the prevalence of bibliometric parameters related to clinical trials with bulk-fill resin composites according to financial assistance over time.

Methods: Five electronic databases were accessed (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library, and Scopus) and seven bibliometric parameters related to geographic origin, year, impact factor, and publication details related to bulk-fill resin composite restorations and their clinical performance were considered. The prevalence ratio was applied using Poisson multiple regression analysis (α=0.05) to assess the association between funding and associated bibliometric parameters.

Results: In total, 59 clinical trials that analyzed the clinical performance of restorations with bulk-fill resin composites were published between 2014 and 2023 and were evaluated bibliometrically; 40.7% (n=24) of the studies reported financial assistance. Financing was associated with bibliometric parameters related to the consistency of the materials, specifically with studies involving sculptable and flowable composites funded more frequently (p<0.001) than studies evaluating only sculptable consistency. Studies that analyzed class I and II cavities showed greater financial assistance (p=0.028) compared to class I cavities, and financing increased as the journal's impact factor increased (p=0.013).

Conclusions: Financial assistance of clinical trials evaluating bulk-fill resin composite restorations was associated with material consistency, tooth cavity design, and journal impact factor bibliometric parameters.

块状填充树脂复合材料的测绘资助：2014年至2023年发表研究的文献计量学分析。

目的：本文献计量学分析的目的是调查随着时间的推移，与大块填充树脂复合材料临床试验相关的文献计量学参数的流行情况。方法：对5个电子数据库（PubMed/MEDLINE、Embase、The Cochrane Library、Virtual Health Library和Scopus）进行访问，并考虑与体块填充树脂复合材料修复体及其临床性能相关的地理来源、年份、影响因子和发表细节等7个文献计量参数。患病率采用泊松多元回归分析（α=0.05）评估资助与相关文献计量参数之间的关系。结果：2014年至2023年间，共发表了59项临床试验，分析了大块填充树脂复合材料修复体的临床性能，并进行了文献计量学评估；40.7% （n=24）的研究报告了经济援助。资金与材料一致性相关的文献计量参数相关，特别是涉及可雕刻和可流动复合材料的研究更频繁地得到资助（结论：评估散装填充树脂复合材料修复体的临床试验的资金支持与材料一致性、牙腔设计和期刊影响因子文献计量参数相关）。

期刊介绍： Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries. In 2012, we printed 84 articles (672 pages). Papers were submitted by authors from 45 countries, in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials and Abstracts. One of the strong points of our journal is that our current publication time for accepted manuscripts is 4 to 6 months from the date of submission. Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations have a very quick turnaround time, which allows for very rapid publication of clinical based concepts. We also provide color for those papers that would benefit from its use. The journal does not accept any advertising but you will find postings for faculty positions. Additionally, the journal also does not rent, sell or otherwise allow its subscriber list to be used by any other entity
