Abstract
Aim: To conduct a bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed literature concerning the platform switching (PS) concept in dental implants, assessing publication trends, influential authors, leading journals, and prevalent research themes.
Settings and design: Bibliometric analysis based on peer-reviewed publications retrieved from major scientific databases.
Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across five electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect, covering publications from 2000 to 2025. Search terms included "platform switching," "dental implants," "marginal bone loss," and "bibliometric analysis." Inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical studies focusing on PS. Bibliometric indicators, including publication counts, citation analysis, authorship patterns, and keyword co-occurrence, were analyzed using bibliometric tools.
Statistical analysis used: Descriptive bibliometric statistics were applied, including publication trends, citation frequencies, and network visualizations for keyword co-occurrence and authorship patterns.
Results: The analysis revealed a substantial increase in PS-related publications after 2005, peaking in 2015. Influential contributors include Lazzara, Porter, and Atieh. The Journal of Periodontology, Clinical Oral Implants Research, and the Journal of Clinical Medicine were identified as leading journals in this domain. Prominent research themes focus on marginal bone preservation, implant-abutment interface design, and the biomechanical implications of PS.
Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis demonstrates a growing scholarly interest in platform switching within implant dentistry. The concentration of research within specific journals and among a limited number of authors highlights the need for broader dissemination and diversification in future investigations.
目的：对口腔种植体中平台转换（PS）概念的同行评议文献进行文献计量学分析，评估出版趋势、有影响力的作者、主要期刊和流行的研究主题。设置和设计：基于从主要科学数据库检索的同行评审出版物的文献计量学分析。材料和方法：在PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、Cochrane和ScienceDirect五个电子数据库中进行了全面的文献检索，涵盖了2000年至2025年的出版物。搜索词包括“平台切换”、“植牙”、“边缘骨质流失”和“文献计量分析”。纳入标准包括同行评议的原创文章、系统综述、荟萃分析和以PS为重点的临床研究。使用文献计量学工具分析文献计量指标，包括出版物数量、引文分析、作者模式和关键词共现。使用的统计分析：应用了描述性文献计量统计，包括出版趋势、引用频率和关键词共现和作者模式的网络可视化。结果：分析显示，2005年后ps相关出版物大幅增加，2015年达到顶峰。有影响力的贡献者包括Lazzara， Porter和Atieh。《牙周病学杂志》、《临床口腔种植研究》和《临床医学杂志》被认为是该领域的主要期刊。突出的研究主题集中在边缘骨保存、种植体-基台界面设计和ps的生物力学意义上。结论：这一文献计量学分析表明，种植体牙科中平台切换的学术兴趣日益浓厚。研究集中在特定期刊和有限数量的作者之间，这突出表明在未来的研究中需要更广泛的传播和多样化。
