Background: The investigation of implant osseointegration is crucial for ensuring the long- term stability of implants. Employing bibliometric analysis allows for a comprehensive understanding of the current research landscape and emerging trends in this domain, thereby informing future research directions. Methods: Utilizing the Web of Science database, we conducted a comprehensive search for articles pertaining to oral implant bone grafting published between January 1, 2014, and November 20, 2024. Our analysis encompassed several bibliometric parameters, including the number of publications, publication year, journal, impact factor, title, author, institution, keywords, and citation count. We employed VOSviewer to perform keyword co-occurrence network analysis and co-citation network analysis, and CiteSpace was utilized for national collaboration analysis and coupled clustering. Additionally, we leveraged online platforms for further visualizations.Results: A comprehensive search yielded 384 articles published across 143 journals, authored by 2,066 individuals affiliated with 714 institutions spanning 52 countries, and encompassing 1,886 distinct keywords. The journals "Clinical Oral Implants Research" and "International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants" exhibited the highest publication volumes. Seoul Natonal University emerged as the most prolific institution in this doain. China was identified as the leading country in terms of publication output, while the United States demonstrated the highest level of international collaboration. The term "osseointegration" was the most frequently occurring keyword. Conclusion: This study presents a quantitative and statistical analysis of literature pertaining to oral implant bone grafting over the past decade. The findings offer valuable insights into the key areas of interest and the latest advancements in the clinical application of this field.
