TI  - 101 Top-cited Dentistry Articles From 
Turkey: A Bibliometric Analysis
AB  - Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and analyse the 100 top-cited published 
articles with the first author affiliated in Turkey institutions.
Materials and Methods: Dental articles with authors from Turkey were searched 
using the “Advanced Search” tool of the Web of Knowledge. The main institution 
was identified as the address of the first author in Turkey. Descriptive statistics were 
used to summarise the results.
Results: The 101 top-cited articles were cited 12,577 times and were published 
between 2016 and 1981. The top-cited article with the highest number of citation 
was cited 351 times. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry published the highest 
number of top-cited articles, and most of the studies covered by top-cited articles 
focused on prosthetic dentistry. Twenty-two institutions have made contributions 
to the top-cited articles. Forty-five articles were produced by individual institutions. 
The field of basic science had the highest number with 54 articles, followed by 
the field of clinical research with 40 articles. “Implant” was the main study topic 
of articles. Randomised controlled trial was the most common study design for 
articles in the field of clinical research, and the majority of the articles had level II 
of evidence.
Conclusion: This study provided insights about scientific trends of dentistry in 
Turkey. If the focus of randomised controlled trials is extended to other clinical 
topics besides implant and international collaboration is increased, articles may be 
more recognised and cited.
