Abstract

Osseodensification is a novel biomechanical technique for bone preparation in dental implant placement. The aim of this study was to analyze the bibliometric characteristics of research on osseodensification and evaluate its academic impact. A retrospective bibliometric analysis was conducted using data obtained from the Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library databases. The search was performed on june 01, 2024, using the keywords “Versah” OR “Densah” OR “Osseodensification.” The search yielded 114 records from Scopus, 88 from Web of Science, 90 from PubMed, 54 from ScienceDirect, and 62 from the Cochrane Library. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria and removing duplicates and irrelevant records (n=286), a total of 122 articles were selected for analysis. Bibliometric parameters, including publication year, citation count, publishing sources, leading contributing countries, institutions, authors, authorship patterns, and the characteristics of the top 10 most cited articles, were assessed. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel (v.16, Redmond, Washington). A bibliometric analysis of 122 research articles on osseodensification published between 2016 and 2024 identified key trends in publication and citation impact. The United States was the leading contributor, followed by Brazil and Italy. The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (n=9) and Implant Dentistry (74.20 citations per article) emerged as the most influential journals. While the United States had the highest number of publications (n=46), Romania exhibited the highest citation impact per article (27.80 citations/article). Institutional collaborations, particularly between two institutions, correlated with higher citation counts. Most authors contributed to a single article, with an average of 4.79 authors per study. Rodrigo Neiva was the most prolific author. Notably, the top 10 most-cited articles accounted for nearly half (48.56%) of all citations. Osseodensification is an emerging technique in implant dentistry and has significant potential to enhance implant success rates.
