Abstract:
The objective of this study was to identify and characterise various resin-bonded bridge (RBB) articles published
in dental journals using bibliometric analysis. The search was performed using the Scopus database to generate
publications related to RBB. Data analysis and visualisation were done using Microsoft Excel, Biblioshiny software
or VOSviewer. The trend of publication shows an annual growth rate of 7.19 percent within the years 1973–2022.
Sixteen articles were cited more than 100 times, with seven highly cited articles focusing on the survival and/or
complications of RBB. Matthias,Kern is the most prolific author in RBB research with Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
being the most influential journal. “survival”, “dental bonding” and “zirconia” were identified as core research areas
for RBB for the past 10 years. Future research on the incorporation of new technology in prosthesis fabrication to
assess the survival and longevity of RBB is expected to increase, with an emphasis on bonding to new materials. This
paper presents an overview of scientific production, prominent researchers and countries, emerging keywords and
core research areas in RBB research.
