In 2023, the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in Periodontics in India stood just below the 4 mark. Forecasts for 2024 through 2028 show a gradual increase from 3.86 to 3.94 publications. This indicates a year-on-year growth, albeit marginal. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) demonstrates a slight upward trend. In essence, India's contribution to high-impact scientific research in Periodontics is expected to increase at a steady yet restrained pace.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Interdisciplinary research efforts combining Periodontics with digital health technologies.
Increased international collaboration between Indian researchers and global peers.
Government initiatives and funding to boost scientific research output in dentistry.
