Abstract
Introduction: Root resorption of permanent teeth is a complex phenomenon, often presenting clinical challenges. The aim was to identify and analyze the most cited publications related to root resorption of permanent teeth.
Method: A bibliographic search of all citations related to root resorption of permanent teeth published in scientific journals. Only publications with 100 citations or more were included, divided into four categories: experimental and review studies related to external or internal root resorption. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted, including standard deviation and margin of error.
Results: Sixty-nine (0.49%) publications, 48 experimental, and 21 review studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the 48 most cited experimental research publications, 48 (100%) pertained to external root resorption. Of the 21 most cited review publications, 19 (90.48%) pertained to external root resorption, and 2 (9.52%) to internal root resorption.
Keywords: Root Resorption; Teeth; Scientific Publications
Introduction
Root resorption of permanent teeth can challenge clinicians regarding diagnosis, case selection, treatment, and prognosis [1-5]. It is distinguished by its duration, i.e., transient or progressive, its location, namely external or internal and the presence of contamination, specifically infected or non-infected root resorption [4-9]. Several etiological factors can contribute to the development of root resorption, such as microbial, mechanical, chemical, and thermal [6,8,10-14]. Microbial factors may include microbial infection from a necrotic pulp (i.e., external inflammatory root resorption) or the periodontal ligament (i.e., external cervical root resorption). Mechanical factors may include traumatic injuries to the dental apparatus (i.e., radicular cracks or fractures, avulsions, and root luxations) resulting in resorption of the root. Tumors, cysts, impacted teeth, intra-coronal bleaching of nonvital teeth using high concentrations of oxidizing agents, and excessive orthodontic forces can also be the culprit [1,4,6,8,10-16].
Quantitative bibliometric analysis is often used to assess the impact of scientific publications [17]. It is a method that involves the systematic collection and analysis of bibliographic data to study and evaluate peer-reviewed articles. One of the primary applications of bibliometric analysis is assessing scientific publications’ impact. Citation analysis provides a fast and efficient way to identify the most significant publications or “classics” in a field, and there is considerable overlap between the publications identified through citation analysis and those included in current reading curriculums [18]. Furthermore, a publication with 100 or more citations is considered ‘classic’ based on the specific field of scientific and clinical research [19,20]. The number of citations represents the number of times that peers have cited a specific publication over time. It is frequently used in bibliographic studies and is one of the metrics that assess a journal’s impact factor [21]. Clinicians can use it as a quick reference to publications that received greater attention from their peers [22].
Another assessment method used in bibliometric analysis is citation density, calculated by dividing the total number of citations by the number of years after the publication first appeared [17]. This analysis mainly emphasizes more recent publications that have received many citations.
Several bibliographic studies have been published ranking dental publications based on their number of citations [22-29]. These publications include the outcome of endodontic treatment, dental traumatology, and regenerative endodontics. Bibliometric-based studies have several implications on clinical practice, including identifying influential research, supporting evidence-based practice, and identifying research gaps. Additionally, bibliometric analysis can highlight areas of research that require further investigation.
To date, a study focusing on the most cited publications related to root resorption has not been included. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and analyze the most cited publications related to root resorption of permanent teeth.
Materials and Methods
Data Extraction and Bibliometric Analysis
The retrospective study was conducted according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines (www.strobe-statement.org) [30,31]. Publications appearing between 1950 and 2022 were included. An electronic and manual search of all citations related to root resorption was carried out utilizing the Web of Science platform (http://www.webofknowledge.com; Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, PA, USA), including all its databases.
The search included keywords covering all relevant categories based on MeSH terms. Keywords included root resorption, surface resorption, replacement resorption, ankylosis, and cervical resorption. Only publications in the English language were included. Exclusion criteria were letters to the editor, lectures, conference proceedings, and abstracts. Publications related to orthodontic-induced root resorption were also excluded from this study.
The publications were analyzed and sorted in descending order according to the number of citations that each received. Publications with 100 citations or more were determined to be the most cited. Citation density was also assessed. The following objective parameters were applied: the title of the publication, authors, the journal in which the publication appeared, the year of publication, the number of citations, and citation density.
Methodological Design
The most cited publications were divided into experimental and review [22,32]. Experimental publications included all prospective and retrospective studies and randomized clinical trials. These publications were then subdivided into publications related to either external root resorption or internal root resorption. The review publications included all systematic reviews and literature meta-analyses. These publications were also subdivided into publications related to either external root resorption or internal root resorption. The data collected was analyzed, and a descriptive statistical analysis was conducted.
Country of Origin and Associated Institutions
The country of origin of the most cited publications and the institutions associated with the corresponding authors were categorized.
Results
Citation Number and Citation Density
Of a total of 31,228 publications identified, 13,887 publications were related to root resorption. Of the 13,887 publications related to root resorption, 143 (1.02%) had 100 citations or more. Sixty-nine publications (0.49%) met the inclusion criteria. Forty-eight (69.57%) experimental publications had 100 citations or more (Fig. 1). The top-cited publication had 413 citations with a citation density score of 15.3 (Table 1). This top publication also had the most citations of the 69 total publications, with 100 citations or more (Table 1,2). The average citation number among all top-cited experimental publications was 161.23 (SD±70.12; ME±10.12), and the average citation density was 6.21 (SD±3.91; ME±0.56). Of the 69 publications that met the inclusion criteria, 21 (30.43%) review publications had 100 citations or more (Table 2).
The top-cited publication comprised 334 citations with a citation density score of 9.82. The average citation number among all top-cited review publications was 168.81 (SD±64.43; ME±14.05), and the average citation density was 9.19 (SD±3.97; ME±0.86). Of the 48 most cited experimental publications, 48 (100%) pertained to external root resorption (Table 3). Of the 21 most cited review publications, 19 (90.48%) pertained to external root resorption, and 2 (9.52%) to internal root resorption.
Several publications included both types of root resorption. No systematic reviews or meta-analyses were found among the publications with 100 citations or more.

Discussion
This comprehensive literature analysis assessed the most cited publications on root resorption of permanent teeth for over 70 years. It is the first study to provide bibliometric information on publications focusing on this topic. It provides a list of publications receiving 100 citations or more, categorized according to experimental and review publications. Publications with 100 citations or more are considered “classic” [27,33,34]. Therefore, the present bibliometric study included only the publications that received at least 100 citations. As a result, our findings provide a ranking of classic publications on root resorption of permanent teeth that can be used as an assessment tool for clinicians, researchers, educators, and students. Overall, it is apparent that such classic publications are scarce, constituting only about 0.5% of all publications on root resorption.
Publications related to orthodontic-induced root resorption were excluded due to several previous publications in this field [35,36].
When comparing the number of experimental research publications to the number of review publications receiving 100 citations or more, experimental research publications were more than double the review publications: 48 vs 21, respectively. The division was made according to the publication type [22,32]. When comparing the citation density of these 2 groups, the average citation density of the review publications was 50% higher. This may indicate the tendency of authors to search for cumulative and more comprehensive information in one place, with access to an extensive list of references simultaneously.
Four publications exceeded 300 citations, of which 2 publications exceeded 400 citations (Table 1,2). The publications exceeding 400 citations were experimental research publications, and the publications exceeding 300 citations but with less than 400 citations were review publications. In the experimental research publications, the top 2 cited publications also received the highest citation density scores, except for one study (Table 1). In the review publications, the top cited ones received 300 citations or more, and 3 other publications received higher citation density scores (Table 2). This may reflect a high level of peer consideration for such publications. It should be noted that the citation number score is dynamic and can change as time passes. Thus, publications with high citation density will receive additional citations in the following years.
Publications not written in English were excluded from this study since a negative effect can occur, skewing the search results against certain countries in which publications appear in other languages [37]. Furthermore, it has been proposed that non-English publications be excluded when executing a comparative analysis of size-independent indicators [38]. Moreover, on average, non-English publications appear to receive fewer citations, thereby suggesting that many researchers may not read publications that are not in English [37,38].
The topics more frequently studied were related to traumatic dental injury, with 29 (60.42%) of the total publications among the experimental studies (48 publications). Some duplications were found in the review studies (21 publications) depending on the subject of the publication. For example, root resorption can be related to traumatic dental injury, root infection, or an impacted tooth.
Although the citation number is an important factor used to assess the professional attention to a certain publication, it does not ascertain the quality of the publication or the validity of the results [17]. Also, the year of publication may affect the number of citations. However, when reviewing the results of the present study, it is clear that a publication that receives a higher number of citations can receive a lower citation density. Therefore, when evaluating the significance and quality of a publication, factors other than just the number of citations should also be considered [38].
The bibliographic citation search in this study was performed using the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, PA, USA). This website provides a subscription-based platform for multiple databases with comprehensive citation data for various academic disciplines [39]. The same platform has been used in other bibliometric studies in endodontics [24,27]. Even so, searching for the same information on other search engine platforms such as PubMed, Scopus, or Google Scholar may yield a different exact number of citations. This phenomenon was reported in other studies [23,27]. Therefore, certain publications may have received 100 citations or more in a bibliometric analysis using other platforms.
When analyzing the year of publication between 1951 and 2005, a substantial increment was found in the number of most cited publications between 1951 and 1963 and between 2003 and 2015, from 1 (1.4%) publication to 23 (33.3%), respectively (Fig. 4). This increment may indicate more authors’ reliance on publications that used more advanced technology.
Assessing authors’ contribution to the field of root resorption, Jans Andreasen topped the list with 13 (19%) publications as the corresponding author, followed by Shanon Patel with 3 (4.3%) top-cited publications. Jans Andreasen’s contributions also affected other analysis components, such as country of origin and the corresponding institute. This finding aligns with the study of Ahmad, et al., who reported that 12 (24%) of Jans Andreasen’s publications were among the top 50 most cited publications [37].
Five publications reported root resorption associated with systemic diseases such as tumors or central giant cell granuloma [40-44]. This type of resorption is known as impacted tooth or tumor pressure root resorption [2]. The American Association of Endodontists considers it an external surface root resorption [8].
