Producción científica sobre fricción en ortodoncia. Estudio de revisión con indicadores bibliométricos

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to analyze with some bibliometric indicators (annual production of articles, journals, authors, cooperation, countries, institutions, citation analysis and co-cocurrency) production in the scientific literature on the subject of friction in orthodontics over the past 10 years. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective bibliometric study of two Web of Science and Pubmed databases was conducted with period of time from 2010 to 2019. The variables of annual production of articles, journals, authors, cooperation, countries, institutions, citation analysis and co-ocurrence were reviewed. Results: The year of the highest production on the subject since the period studied was 2015 and the magazine with the most articles is the Angle Orthodontics for both databases. Bourauel Christoph is the main autor. Brazil is the country with the most publications. Among the institutions that publish the most for Web of Science is the University of Bonn and Seoul National University for Pubmed. In co-ocurrence analysis, it was found in common for both self-ligating bracket, movement, treatment, system, and surface datebases. Conclusion: There is a production of publications in friction in orthodontics that indicate poor validity in the current theme. In this way it is emphasized that frictional research is still in development with a minimal group of productive scientists in aspects that may be of interest to other researchers.
