Abstract
Objective: This study aims to comprehensively assess the bibliometric features of articles evaluating the utilization of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in dentistry by conducting a bibliographic search on the Web of Science databases until March 2025.
Methodology: The following data were collected: number and density of citations; authorship; year, journal of publication, and impact factor; study design and theme; keywords; institution and country of origin. VOSviewer software was used to generate collaborative network maps for authors and keywords.
Results: A total of 91 highly cited articles were identified, with citation counts ranging from 123 to zero. Most articles (74%) were published after 2010, with the highest prevalence in Asia (44%), especially China (10%). The most frequent study design was in vitro (55%), primarily focused on restorative dentistry (29%) and cariology (23%). The most common keywords were "Calcium Carbonate" and "Hydroxyapatite". DeVizio W. was the most prolific author, with four publications.
Conclusions: Bibliometric analysis highlights a growing interest in the application of calcium carbonate in dentistry, with a progressive increase in scientific output over the years. The findings underscore the global distribution of research and emphasize the relevance of this biomaterial in various dental specialties. This study reinforces several key points for research groups worldwide engaged in the development of innovative dental materials, providing valuable direction for future investigations, which remain limited in scope, especially regarding clinical applications and long-term outcomes.
目的：本研究旨在通过对Web of Science数据库进行书目检索，全面评估评估碳酸钙（CaCO₃）在牙科中的应用的文章的文献计量学特征。方法：收集以下数据：被引次数、被引密度；作者;年份、发表期刊、影响因子；研究设计与主题；关键字;机构和原籍国。使用VOSviewer软件为作者和关键词生成协同网络地图。结果：共发现高被引文章91篇，被引频次在123 ~ 0之间。大多数文章（74%）发表于2010年以后，亚洲患病率最高（44%），尤其是中国（10%）。最常见的研究设计是体外（55%），主要集中在修复牙科（29%）和龋齿学（23%）。最常见的关键词是“碳酸钙”和“羟基磷灰石”。德维齐奥是最多产的作家，出版了四本著作。结论：文献计量学分析强调，随着多年来科学产出的逐步增加，人们对碳酸钙在牙科中的应用越来越感兴趣。研究结果强调了研究的全球分布，并强调了这种生物材料在各种牙科专业中的相关性。本研究加强了世界范围内从事创新牙科材料开发的研究小组的几个关键点，为未来的研究提供了有价值的方向，这些研究在范围上仍然有限，特别是在临床应用和长期结果方面。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Oral Science is committed in publishing the scientific and technologic advances achieved by the dental community, according to the quality indicators and peer reviewed material, with the objective of assuring its acceptability at the local, regional, national and international levels. The primary goal of The Journal of Applied Oral Science is to publish the outcomes of original investigations as well as invited case reports and invited reviews in the field of Dentistry and related areas.
