Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the main features of the 25 most-cited articles in minimally invasive access cavities.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search was conducted on the Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science 'All Databases' to identify the most-cited articles related to this topic. Citation counts were cross-matched with data from Elsevier's Scopus and Google Scholar. Information about authors, contributing institutions and countries, year and journal of publication, study design and topic, access cavity, and keywords were analyzed.

Results: The top 25 most-cited articles received a total of 572 (Web of Science), 1,160 (Google Scholar) and 631 (Scopus) citations. It was observed a positive significant association between the number of citations and age of publication ( = 0.6907, < 0.0001); however, there was no significant association regarding citation density and age of publication ( = -0.2631, = 0.2038). The made the highest contribution ( = 15, 60%). The United States had the largest number of publications ( = 7) followed by Brazil ( = 4), with the most contributions from the University of Tennessee and Grande Rio University ( = 3), respectively. The highest number of most-cited articles were studies ( = 16), and 'fracture resistance' was the major topic studied ( = 10).

Conclusions: This study revealed a growing interest for researchers in the field of minimally invasive access cavities. Future trends are focused on the expansion of collaborative networks and the conduction of laboratory studies on under-investigated parameters.
