The United States leads in top-cited publications in periodontics, but China's rapid rise—a year-on-year increase of 28.82% in 2023—suggests potential future leadership. Notable growth was seen in South Korea (23.69%) and Saudi Arabia (62.2%), while declines in Belgium (-7.98%) and Brazil (-21.9%) were evident. The overall global landscape shows dynamic shifts, with several smaller countries like France and Austria also making significant strides.
Future trends to watch include China's continuing ascent alongside potential rebounds in traditionally strong nations like Belgium and Brazil. The landscape will likely witness increased contributions from emerging countries and continued emphasis on innovation and collaboration.
