Abstract

Objective To dissect the characteristics and prevalent research topics within Chinese doctoral dissertations in the field of stomatology from 2003 to 2023, offering insights for the nurturing of future dental doctoral candidates. Methods Utilizing bibliometric analysis, doctoral dissertations in the field of stomatology researchfrom 2003 to 2023 were sourced from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database Knowledge Service Platform in November 2024. Statistical analysis was performed on data such as authorship, publication volume, affiliated institutions and colleges, and dissertation keywords. CiteSpace software was used to conduct visual analysis of the keywords. Results A total of 2 721 doctoral dissertations in stomatology from 91 institutions and colleges were retrieved. Dissertations from the top 10 institutions constituted 69.8% (1 898/2 721) of the total. There were 959 thesis advisors, with 30 guiding≥20 dissertations, representing 29.7% (807/2 721) of the total. A significant 39.1% (1 065/2 721) of the dissertations remained uncited. An analysis of the research topics of doctoral dissertations in the field of stomatology from 2003 to 2023 reveals a trend of diversification and interdisciplinary integration centered on bone metabolism, disease mechanisms, and repair techniques. The research in stomatology has evolved from basic tissue engineering to molecular mechanisms and clinical translation. Since 2015, the frequency of keywords related to inflammation and immunity, such as macrophages and autophagy, has increased significantly. Additionally, the study of “exosomes”has attracted more attention from scholars. Conclusions The institutions and supervisors of doctoral dissertations in the field of stomatology in China are relatively concentrated. The citation frequency of these dissertations is relatively low, and the quality of the papers needs to be further improved. Future research can focus on exosome delivery systems, regulation of the inflammatory microenvironment, immunotherapy, and integration of multidisciplinary technologies to open up new avenues for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases.
