Abstract
Introduction: Bibliometric analysis is an indicator of high-quality evidence for the decision-making process regarding the use of biomaterials. The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the 100 most cited articles on tricalcium silicate endodontic cements.
Methodology: A broad search strategy using key terms related to hydraulic endodontic cement was conducted in the Web of Science - Core Collection (WoS-CC) on May 30, 2025. Data were retrieved and organized in descending order of the number of citations in the WoS-CC, and each article was compared with the number of citations in the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. VOSviewer software was used to construct co-authorship networks. Spearman's correlations were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 22.0).
Results: The most cited article was "Physical and chemical properties of a new root-end filling material," by Torabinejad et al. (1995), with 821 citations in WoS-CC. Of the 100 articles, the corresponding authors were predominantly from the United States (n = 37). The institution of origin of most articles was Loma Linda University (USA) (n = 15). Experimental laboratory studies were the most common study design among the included articles (58%), followed by literature reviews (14%) and observational studies (11%). The Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), whether ProRoot MTA or MTA Angelus, was the predominant studied material (21,84%) and most studies focused on the evaluation of material properties (48%).
Conclusions: This list of the most cited articles can provide a reference point to guide research and biomaterial selection.
文献计量分析是关于生物材料使用决策过程的高质量证据指标。本研究的目的是分析100篇被引次数最多的硅酸三钙根管胶结物的特征。方法：于2025年5月30日在科学网-核心集（WoS-CC）中使用与液压牙髓水泥相关的关键术语进行了广泛的搜索策略。在WoS-CC中按照被引次数降序进行数据检索和整理，并将每篇文章与Scopus和谷歌Scholar数据库中的被引次数进行比较。使用VOSviewer软件构建合作作者网络。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS 22.0）执行Spearman相关性。结果：被引最多的文章是Torabinejad et al.（1995）的“Physical and chemical properties of a new root-end filling material”，在WoS-CC中被引821次。在这100篇文章中，通讯作者主要来自美国（n = 37）。大多数文章的来源机构为美国洛马林达大学（n = 15）。在纳入的文章中，实验实验室研究是最常见的研究设计（58%），其次是文献综述（14%）和观察性研究（11%）。矿物三氧化物骨料（MTA），无论是prooroot MTA还是MTA Angelus，都是主要的研究材料（21.84%），大多数研究都集中在材料性能的评估上（48%）。结论：该被引文章列表可为指导研究和生物材料选择提供参考点。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Endodontics, the official journal of the American Association of Endodontists, publishes scientific articles, case reports and comparison studies evaluating materials and methods of pulp conservation and endodontic treatment. Endodontists and general dentists can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation in the one journal that helps them keep pace with rapid changes in this field.
