Findings from University of Parma Broaden Understanding of Prosthodontics (Topic Modeling as a Tool to Identify Research Diversity: A Study across Dental Disciplines).

The University of Parma conducted a study on research diversity in dental sciences from 1994 to 2023, focusing on six disciplines including Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry. Using Topic modeling and Shannon's entropy, the study found shifts in research focus over time, with some disciplines like Prosthodontics maintaining a specialized research focus while others like Restorative Dentistry showed increasing diversification. The research highlights the dynamic nature of dental research and the evolving balance in research focus across various areas of Dentistry. [Extracted from the article]
