Regenerative Endodontics Research Performance and Trend in Saudi Arabia: A Visualized Bibliometric Analysis

This study aims to explore and characterize Saudi Arabia's research contributions to the emerging field of regenerative endodontics through a bibliometric analysis. The goal is to assess the growth, impact, and collaboration patterns of Saudi research in this promising area of dentistry

A comprehensive search of the Web of Science database was performed without limitations. Search terms related to regenerative endodontics were combined with terms specifying Saudi Arabia. Bibliometric indicators and visualization tools like Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were used to analyze and map publication trends, collaborations, and citation patterns.

A total of 113 articles were included. Publication output grew exponentially, peaking at 24 articles in 2021. King Abdulaziz University and King Saud University led research productivity. The Journal of Endodontics, The Journal of Personalized Medicine and the Saudi Dental Journal primarily disseminated this scholarship. Citation levels peaked in 2017. Collaborations were observed with countries including the US, Egypt, and India.

Saudi Arabia has made notable contributions to regenerative endodontics research during the past decade, as evidenced by increasing publications and global impact. Strategic investments have strengthened specialized capacities at leading universities. Efforts building on established conceptual and methodological bases can bring further advances in this promising field.
