Abstract: AIM: To analyze the bibliometric parameters of scientific output on the use of electronic cigarettes (ECs) and their implications for oral health. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A bibliometric study analyzing original articles indexed in Scopus on ECs and oral health published between 2015 and 2024. A search strategy based on MeSH terms was implemented. The metadata were exported and analyzed using VOSviewer for co-authorship networks and with SciVal for productivity, impact, and collaboration indicators. RESULTS: A total of 204 original articles were included. Vohra Fahim was the most productive with 7 (3.4%) articles, while Rahman Irfan Ur (88.8) stood out for the highest average number of citations. The Journal of the American Dental Association had 10 (4.9%) publications, while the Journal of Periodontology showed the greatest impact (41.6). The United States concentrates scientific activity, presenting a wide network of collaboration. International collaboration, although less frequent (31%), had the highest average number of citations per publication (48.3). King Saud University was the most productive with 15 (7.3%) articles. CONCLUSION: Scientific research on e-cigarettes and oral health shows the leadership of the United States and the growing participation of Saudi Arabia. International collaboration demonstrates greater visibility and impact. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: . Electronic Cigarettes and Oral Health: Bibliometric Mapping of Scientific Evidence.
