Abstract

Objectives Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a widely used technique in contemporary dentistry which helps achieve regeneration of periodontal tissues. This study aims to identify leading countries, authors, institutes, journals, scientific publications, and mostly used keyword regarding role of GTR in treatment for periodontal disease using the Scopus database.

Materials and Methods A well-curated search through Scopus database for significant literature related to GTR published between 1987 and 2023 was performed. Bibliographical data which comprised of abstracts, title, keywords, references, citations, and other relevant information were composed. The data was analyzed using MS Excel and VOSviewer.

Results Scientific literature on GTR was manually scrutinized, and 308 paper were analyzed using the Scopus database. The first paper on GTR was published in 1987. Journal of Periodontology was identified as the leading journal, while the United States and Italy were the top contributing countries. University of Sienna was the most productive organization. Roberto Pontoriero was identified as the highly cited author. A highly cited scientific paper was published by Pintippa Bunyaratavej in 2001.

Conclusion The present bibliometric study gives useful information related to the total number of scientific articles published from 1987 to 2023. A rising trend of scientific publication was identified which continued followed by a notable decline after 2004. The analysis also recognized the United States and University of Sienna, from Italy as most active country and organizations, while the Journal of Periodontology as the leading journal.

Clinical Relevance This study may assist in continuing education and evidence-based practice for clinicians and new researchers by providing knowledge and aiding literature searches in the domain of GTR used in treatment for periodontal conditions.
