Ongoing research in the dental specialty, especially implant dentistry, is opening a new horizon. Its improving the survival rate and predictability. It is mainly because of improvement and modifications in the design of dental implant, technique of surgical procedure, and materials. However still, occurrence of implant failure is common and is a matter of concern. Osseointegration failure is possibly because of poor oral health and can be attributed to quality of surrounding bone. Predictability of dental implant is favored by implant design, equal force of dissipation at bone-implant bone contact. Hence, Platform Switched Implants came in picture to make the outcomes predictable. The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to provide summaries of countries, universities, authors, journals, and research data related to platform switched endosseous dental implants. Methodology: This retrospective observational study included online access to Scopus database through login into the Scopus website followed by affiliation search. The results obtained were then was exported. It was exported as “bibtex file.” This focuses on the preservation of the optimal crestal bone for the increased term survival of the endosseous dental implants. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the studies, referred from the span of 10 years (2011-2021) of platform switch implants, showed a significant improvement in crestal bone levels and its maintenance as compared to platform matching abutments. This helps clinician a better understanding of survival rate of dental implants.

Oral cancer is the 12th most commonly occurring cancer in females and the 6th in males. Oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSMF) considered as one of the high-risk precancerous conditions, linked with areca nut chewing. The aim of present bibliometric analysis was to put forward a summary of countries, universities, authors, journals, and research data related to use of turmeric as a therapeutic consideration in potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Methodology: Studies related to use of turmeric as a therapeutic consideration in PMDs and OSMF published in PubMed indexed journals from 2011 to 2021 were extracted from the Science Citation Index expanded core database. Data and research publications of numerous authors, journals, universities, and countries were retrieved and quantitatively analyzed applying the R-Studio biblioshiny package. The core data set comprised of overall 334 journals, as well as books. 724 documents were recognized. Top 20 PubMed indexed journals were selected which publish the data regarding medicinal properties of turmeric. 20 universities were also analyzed regarding treatment of turmeric. Average years from publication are 4.8 years. Results: A total of 724 documents were extracted. These documents were derived from 2011-2021. The number of documents/publication researches steadily increased from 2011 till 2018. Conclusion: This research includes data of 10 years, therefore, this bibliometric research of contribution of turmeric in oral submucous fibrosis and potential malignant disorders will provide complete knowledge during these years. This will provide an insight for new research projects across the globe.

Cleft lip and palate (CLCP) is a frequently occurring congenital anomaly of craniofacial structure and the second most common after club foot. The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to provide a summary of countries, universities, authors, journals, and research data related to CLCP. Method: CLCP studies published in PubMed indexed journals from 1976 to 2021 were extracted from the Science Citation Index expanded core database. Publication of authors, journals, universities, and countries were retrieved and quantitatively analyzed using the R-Studio biblioshiny package.The core data set included a total of 99 Journals and books. 198 documents were recognized. Top 20 PubMed indexed journals were selected, which publish the data regarding CLCP. 20 universities were also analyzed for treatment of CLCP. Average years from publication are 11.7 years. Results: A total of 198 documents were extracted. Documents were derived from 1976-2021. The number of documents/publication research steadily increased from 1976 till 1990. Then there was fall in number of papers and research articles. Over the time, from 2010 till 2021, publications have tremendously increased from all over the world. Different countries and universities with collaboration strategies have started research work in this field. Conclusion: This research includes data of 46 years, therefore, this bibliometric research of CLCP will provide complete knowledge of trends in CLCP during these years. This will provide an insight for new research projects across the globe.
