Abstract

Background/Purpose

Furcation involvement is a condition characterized by unpleasant odors originating from the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics and research trends of furcation involvement.

Materials and methods

All the papers on furcation involvement were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database. The years of publication were divided into before 2010 and after 2010 in the analysis of research trends.

Results

There were 1537 papers on furcation involvement, with total citations of 47,246 and the h index of 98. The treatment modalities included guided tissue regeneration (GTR), bone regeneration, artificial membranes, surgical flaps, bone transplantation, dental scaling, and plastic surgery. The trend of diagnostic aspect has highlighted the diagnostic imaging by cone beam computed tomography and micro-computed tomography after 2010. The trend of treatment, plastic surgery, root canal therapy, subgingival curettage, absorbable implants, anti-bacterial agents, and antiinfective agent before 2010, has changed to bone defect, bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin, and local drug delivery after 2010. There have always been common keywords such as furcation defects, periodontitis, alveolar bone loss, GTR, bone regeneration, periodontal pocket, pathology, periodontal attachment loss, randomized controlled trial, and risk factor.

Conclusion

This scientometric study for the first time elucidated the current scenario and research trends of furcation involvement, particularly the comprehensive identification and recognition of the important research topics concerned.

牙周病中分叉参与的研究趋势和特征的科学计量学研究

背景/目的功能受累是一种以口腔异味为特征的疾病。本研究旨在分析分岔介入的科学计量学特征及研究趋势。材料与方法从Scopus数据库中全面检索有关分叉介入的论文。在研究趋势分析中，将发表年份分为2010年之前和2010年之后。结果共收录分岔介入相关文献1537篇，总被引次数47246次，h指数98。治疗方式包括引导组织再生（GTR）、骨再生、人工膜、外科皮瓣、骨移植、牙科洗牙和整形手术。2010年以后，诊断方面的发展趋势是圆锥束计算机断层扫描和微型计算机断层扫描的诊断成像。2010年以前的治疗趋势是整形手术、根管治疗、龈下刮除、可吸收种植体、抗菌药物、抗感染药物，2010年以后的趋势是骨缺损、骨移植、富血小板纤维蛋白、局部给药。常用的关键词有：分叉缺损、牙周炎、牙槽骨丢失、GTR、骨再生、牙周袋、病理、牙周附着体丧失、随机对照试验、危险因素等。结论本科学计量学研究首次阐明了分岔参与的现状和研究趋势，特别是对相关重要研究课题的全面识别和认识。

期刊介绍： he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases. The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
