All articles related to biochemistry in endodontics were included. The modularity Q index, the average silhouette, and the centrality values were determined. Publication growth trends, citations, keywords, countries, journals, and authors were analyzed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. </span><b style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;">Results:</b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;"> A total of 831 (754 original articles and 77 reviews) studies were analyzed. The average growth rate between 1978 and 2023 has been approximately 10.13%. The first study was published in 1978, and 71 countries performed studies, however, the USA, Brazil, Japan, and China were the lead ones. A total of 3998 authors contributed to the publications. The Journal of Endodontics was the lead for the number of studies. </span><b style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;">Conclusion:</b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;"> The increasing publication trend indicates an increasing interest in biochemical studies in the endodontic literature. There was a global interest in biochemical studies in the endodontic literature. This bibliometric analysis presented a comprehensive glance at the biochemical studies in the endodontic field and reported the importance of biochemistry for the endodontic literature.</span><br></p> |
