Abstract
Statement of problem
Implant-retained overdentures are a recognized treatment option. However, a comprehensive
assessment of all articles on implant-retained overdentures to identify publication
standards such as mean citation and the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor
is lacking.
Purpose
The purpose of this bibliometric assessment was to evaluate the association of mean
citation and JCR impact factor with bibliometric parameters in articles on implant-retained
overdentures.
Material and methods
Articles reporting randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized
controlled clinical trials (N-RCTs); case reports and series; retrospective studies;
and in silico, in vitro, or systematic reviews in 6 databases were included. Data
were extracted, and 2 multiple Poisson regressions analyses were applied (α=.05).
The dependent variables were mean citation and JCR impact factor, which were evaluated
to identify their association with bibliometric parameters by using prevalence ratio
(PR) values.
Results
A total of 1369 articles published from 1986 to 2021 were included. The data revealed
a high mean citation and high JCR impact factor for RCT, N-RCT, retrospective, and
in vitro studies (P<.05). In silico studies presented a high mean citation (P<.001). Senior researchers with a high h-index were more likely to have a high mean
citation and publications with a high JCR impact factor (P<.001). Also, senior authors associated with an international network were more likely
to have a high mean citation (P=.001). High-income countries had more studies with a high mean citation and JCR impact
factor (P<.05). Higher JCR impact factors were associated with articles evaluating only the
maxilla or mandible (P<.05). The topics “implant setting” and “macrodesign” were associated with a high
mean citation (P<.05).
Conclusions
The publication trends suggest a high mean citation and a high JCR impact factor for
clinical designs (RCT, N-RCT, retrospective) and in vitro studies. The same pattern
was also displayed for researchers with a high h-index and located in high-income
countries.
