ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pulpotomy is the pulp treatment most frequently performed in primary dentition, but a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the subject has not yet been carried out. Objective: To know the development of published articles on pulpotomy in primary teeth from 1960 to 2017. Material and methods: an electronic bibliographic search was performed including articles in English, available in full text in electronic version. The bibliometric indicators analyzed were: chronological distribution of the documents, productivity by journals, by authors/article, by countries, by institutions, by type of article, by thematic content, number of authors/article, number of citations received/article and number of bibliographic references. Results: 204 articles published in 39 journals were included, only one third were specialized in Pediatric Dentistry. Of the first signatories, 80.23% were linked to a university. The mean number of authors/article was 2.85 from 30 different countries. Fifty percent of the papers were non-randomized clinical studies and 82.84% sought the best material to treat the remaining root pulp. The countries with the highest number of publications were the United States (n=40) and India (n=38). Conclusions: The production of articles on pulpotomy in primary dentition and the number of journals where they were published increased progressively in the decades studied, as did the number of authors. Clinical studies were predominant in the search for the best alternative for the treatment of the remaining pulp. The main place of the research were universities. Emerging countries have gained prominence in world scientific production on the analyzed subject.
