In 2023, the share of scientific publications among the world's top-cited publications in oral surgery in the US was a specific benchmark. From 2024 to 2028, this share is forecasted to remain relatively stable, with only a slight decrease year-on-year as follows: 11.06% in 2024, 11.05% in 2025, and plateauing at 11.04% from 2026 to 2028. This indicates a negligible compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. The stability suggests a mature field with limited fluctuations.

Future trends to watch for:

Emerging technologies and methodologies in oral surgery could impact citation dynamics.
Collaboration and interdisciplinary research may foster notable advancements.
Policy and funding changes could alter research output and influence citations.
