A bibliometric analysis of clear aligner therapy research articles published over 5 years – 2020–2024
Objective
To identify and evaluate research articles regarding clear aligner therapy (CAT) published between 2020 and 2024 inclusive.
Methods
A systematic strategy was employed to search the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, Pa) and the Incites Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics) databases for records regarding CAT-related articles published between 2020 and 2024 inclusive. Authorial and journal metrics and information regarding study type were documented.
Results
A total of 975 articles satisfied inclusion criteria and were evaluated. The number of CAT-related publications more than quadrupled from 2020 (n = 84) to 2024 (n = 341). Articles were published in a total of 166 journals or other publication sources. The American Journal of Orthodontics (n = 100; 10.3%) and the Angle Orthodontist (n = 56; 5.7%) are the journals in which CAT-related research were mostly published. Both journals recorded the joint highest number of places (n = 6; 20%) in the list of top 50 cited articles published within the timeframe. The mean (SD) number of authors per article was 5.3 (2.3) [Maximum 25; Minimum 1], with first authors being affiliated to a total of 52 countries. China is the country of affiliation most frequently reported by first authors (n = 198; 20.3%) followed by Italy (n = 161; 16.5%). Retrospective observational (n = 196; 20.1%) and in vitro studies (n = 190; 19.5%) were the two most common study types with 2.6% (n = 25) being randomised clinical trials.
Conclusion
The findings will provide insight for scholars and clinicians regarding current research trends and identify research methodologies which may help determine the nature of future studies.
