    • Abstract:
      Purpose: This study aims to conduct a thorough analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, of bibliometric parameters related to preemptive analgesia (PA) in oral surgical procedures (OSP). Methods: Research trends on PA in OSP using ibuprofen were reviewed through bibliometric analysis of 68 journal articles published from 1991 to 2022 in the Web of Science database. Bibliometric indicators were applied to analyze the journal article data, including the annual distribution of publications and literature growth, document types, citation indicators to measure qualitative research performance, and keyword mapping to identify research trends. The results were imported into RStudio, and the Bibliometrix package was used to prepare and analyze the metadata. Results: The 68 included articles received a total of 900 citations, ranging from 1 source to 72 citations with some fluctuations. The papers on PA in OSP using ibuprofen had an average of 16.85 citations per paper. These publications were originated from 25 countries, with the highest contributions from Brazil (n = 17), the USA (n = 13), and Turkey (n = 8). The top five major contributing journals were the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Journal of Periodontology, and Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, representing more than half of all selected papers. Conclusion: Papers focused on PA in OSP received numerous citations. The citation per article correlated with the number of publications at the affiliation, author, country, and journal levels. However, there is still a scarcity of studies in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
