Three Decades of Prosthodontic Oral Rehabilitation: A Bibliometric Analysis of Materials, Implants, and Digital Workflows.
Review in International journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Over the past three decades, prosthodontic research has expanded from material- and implant-focused rehabilitation toward increasingly digital and function-oriented approaches in oral rehabilitation. Understanding how these shifts align with functional, biological, and patient-centered rehabilitation goals is essential for future clinical development. To explore these transitions, bibliometric mapping of prosthodontic research published between 1991 and 2024 was performed. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (Science Citation Index Expanded [SCI-EXPANDED]) using an expanded set of prosthodontics-related search terms. A "front page" filter (titles, abstracts, and author keywords) was applied to improve specificity. Word frequency analyses were conducted for titles, abstracts, author keywords, and Results: A total of 38,382 articles met the inclusion criteria. Nine main research topics were identified, dominated by implant dentistry, dental materials, and digital dentistry. Four overarching research focuses were delineated: implant-based rehabilitation, advanced prosthodontic materials, digital and computer-assisted prosthodontics, and functional rehabilitation. Three emerging themes, namely, 3D printing, accuracy-driven digital validation, and artificial intelligence (AI), showed marked growth during 2019-2024, reflecting rapid technological adoption. Conclusion: Prosthodontic research remains strongly anchored in implant therapy and materials science, while digital and data-driven technologies are expanding rapidly. These trends indicate a transition toward more personalized, efficient, and function-oriented oral rehabilitation, with implications for future research priorities and clinical practice.
