ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to analyze the international scientific panorama concerning research about saliva between the years 2000 and 2018. An observational descriptive retrospective quantitative study was conducted of the data based on bibliometric document analysis. PubMed and Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source were selected as important online bibliometric databases to search for and retrieve documents. All the data presented in the study were analyzed with the following software: VOSviewer, Publish or Perish, Mendeley Desktop and SPSS version 19 for Windows. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. The two databases exhibited differences in the number of documents between the periods 2000-2009 and 2010-2018 (p < 0.05). A total 38 969 documents were recorded in PubMed. Granger, from the USA, was the most productive author (0.45%). The topics most commonly discussed had to do with metabolism (44.70%) and chemistry (37.71%) in relation to stress (9.51%), salivary glands (4.65%) and cancer (3.50%). A total 6 621 documents were recorded in Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source. Attin, a Swiss-German, was the most productive author (0.86%). Dental caries (11.20%), saliva analysis (9.41%) and periodontal disease (5.89%) were the diagnostic topics most commonly dealt with. During the study period an increase occurred in international research about saliva. However, the scope of multicenter studies was lesser than expected, given the huge load of world health problems related to several chemical components of saliva.
