Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of publications in the field of periodontology and implantology in Turkey. Material and Methods: A sensitive search strategy was developed to identify relevant articles, focusing on the periodontology and implantology research fields published two years before and after the declaration of the pandemic (March 2020). The search was performed through Web of Science, Medline, SCOPUS and CENTRAL databases. A three-stage screening (titles, abstract, full-text) was carried out in duplicate and independently by two reviewers. Results: A total of 382 studies were identified before the pandemic and 307 studies during the pandemic. While there was a downward trend in the number of observational studies (185 vs 168), the number of clinical trials (CCT/RCT) slightly increased compared to the pre-pandemic period (72 vs 74). Conclusion: Limited to the selected period of time (two years) and field, publication rate on periodontology and implantology in Turkey was decreased during the pandemic. Although the present research highlights current trends, large-scale investigations are needed to probe consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on research activities in the long-run (AU).

2019冠状病毒病大流行对土耳其牙周学和种植学期刊发表率的影响

目的:本研究旨在评估2019冠状病毒病大流行对土耳其牙周病和种植学领域出版物数量的影响。材料和方法:制定了一种敏感的搜索策略，以识别相关文章，重点关注在宣布大流行(2020年3月)前后两年发表的牙周病和种植研究领域。检索通过Web of Science、Medline、SCOPUS和CENTRAL数据库进行。三阶段筛选(标题、摘要、全文)由两名审稿人独立进行，一式两份。结果:大流行前共确定了382项研究，大流行期间共确定了307项研究。虽然观察性研究的数量呈下降趋势(185项对168项)，但与大流行前相比，临床试验(CCT/RCT)的数量略有增加(72项对74项)。结论:在选定的时间(两年)和领域内，大流行期间土耳其牙周病和种植学的出版物率有所下降。虽然目前的研究强调了当前的趋势，但需要大规模的调查来探讨COVID-19大流行对长期研究活动的影响(AU)。
