Abstract:
ABSTRACT:The main objective of this study was to ascertain and characterise different articles published in
the field of dentistry based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging technique. The
search was performed using Scopus database to generate publications relevant to usage of CBCT in
relation to dentistry. Additional data comprising of citation information, bibliographic information,
abstract, keywords and other information was also included. Bibliometric pointers such as citation
and documents, authors, journals and keywords were also investigated. About 411 research papers
were available from 2004 and 2020 and were further analysed using VOSviewer 1.6.15. A gradual
increase in the number of publications can be seen, however in 2018, highest number of papers was
published. USA, Turkey and Brazil were the topmost countries making substantial contributions.
The most productive organisation was University of Michigan School of Dentistry, USA. Journal
of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology was the most preferred journals by authors. This is one of first
bibliometric analysis that aims to identify different research articles published in the field of dentistry
that focused on CBCT. This study will be helpful to the investigators who have just started CBCT
based research by providing them with a general insight regarding research tendency along with source
of possible associations among different authors and countries.
