Visualized Analysis of Knowledge Map for Dental Implant Technology Based on CiteSpace
Objective:To understand the current situation and hot spots of implant technology in China,and further explore the research frontiers and trends in this field in the future.Methods:Based on CiteSpace software,conducting quantitative analysis on 1 472 related literature collected in CNKI database from 1992 to 2022.The current research status in this field in China was analyzed by means of annual statistics,co-occurrence of authors and institutions,etc.The current research hotspots and future development trends in this field were were by means of keyword co-occurrence,clustering and emergence,etc.Results:(1)The number of papers documented in the field of dental implant technology research was on the rise.Specially,it had maintained a high and stable growth trend in the past decade.(2)The author's cooperation showed institutional cohesion,and the cooperation among teams was insufficient.Specifically,each research structure was characterized by large dispersion,small concentration and less overall cooperation.(3)The research focus has gone through three stages,namely,the practical application research of implant and implant denture,the solution of the associated problems of dental implantation,and the combination of advanced science and technology.Conclusion:The research and development prospects in the field of dental implant technology are good,but the cooperation between institutions and authors needs to be further strengthened.The application of emerging science and technology needs to be further studied.
