Özet

In scientific fields, various methods of statistical analysis such as bibliometric analysis have been used to determine the effectiveness of journals, research, and articles. The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis to systematically and understandably characterise publications on impacted third molar surgery (ITMS) from 2000 to 2020. The articles were retrieved on the same day (1 January 2021) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database of the Web of Science to prevent bias due to daily updates of the databases. A total of 3326 publications from 2000 to 2020 were analysed. The United States of America (USA) had the highest number of publications and h-index value. The highest number of co-citations were of Pell GJ. ITMS research was collected under nine ‘clusters’. In this study, developments, the most influential publications, journals, and countries in the research of ITMS were determined based on the evidence gained through bibliometric analysis.
