Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to understand the trends regarding the use of artificial intelligence in dentistry through a bibliometric review.
Types of Studies Reviewed
The authors performed a literature search on Web of Science. They collected the following data: articles—number and density of citations, year, key words, language, document type, study design, and theme (main objective, diagnostic method, and specialties); journals—impact factor; authors—country, continent, and institution. The authors used Visualization of Similarities Viewer software (Leiden University) to analyze the data and Spearman test for correlation analysis.
Results
After selection, 1,478 articles were included. The number of citations ranged from 0 through 327. The articles were published from 1984 through 2024. Most articles were characterized as proof of concept (979). Definition and classification of structures and diseases was the most common theme (550 articles). There was an emphasis on radiology (333 articles) and radiographic-based diagnostic methods (715 articles). China was the country with the most articles (251), and Asia was the continent with the most articles (871). The Charité–University of Medicine Berlin was the institution with the most articles (42), and the author with the most articles was Schwendicke (53).
Practical Implications
Artificial intelligence is an important clinical tool to facilitate diagnosis and provide automation in various processes.
期刊介绍:
There is not a single source or solution to help dentists in their quest for lifelong learning, improving dental practice, and dental well-being. JADA+, along with The Journal of the American Dental Association, is striving to do just that, bringing together practical content covering dentistry topics and procedures to help dentists—both general dentists and specialists—provide better patient care and improve oral health and well-being. This is a work in progress; as we add more content, covering more topics of interest, it will continue to expand, becoming an ever-more essential source of oral health knowledge.
