Scientific Mapping of the Laminate Veneers in Dentistry: Bibliometric Analysis-Methodological Studies
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: Laminate veneer (LV) restorations are widely studied in dental research; however, a thorough bibliometric analysis is still lacking on this topic. Material and Methods: The literature search was based on the Web of Science database, focusing on papers related to LVs published between 2014-2023. The data recorded includes title, abstract, keyword, author, publication time, institution, and reference. Bibliometric networks were visualized using VOSviewer. This bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive overview of LV research, countries, institutions, authors, journals, and article keywords between 2014-2023. Results: The bibliometric analysis included 457 publications. Brazil emerged as the country with the highest publication output. Özcan was the most productive author, while Universidade Estadual Paulista led in institutional publication count. The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry had the largest number of publications, whereas the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry received the highest number of citations. VOSviewer keyword analysis showed the most important research interests, such as dental veneers, ceramics, and computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM). Conclusion: According to recent publications, studies on the success of CAD-CAM blocks in LVs, the effect of enamel thickness and debonding techniques have become popular. It is thought that studies of LV will continue in dentistry.
