Abstract
Aim: In this bibliometric analysis, the research trends of the researchers, institutions, countries, and journals that contributed to the study of digital dentistry were to be analyzed.
 Materials and Methods: The Web of Science (WoS) database, which covers papers on digital dentistry between 2012 and 2022, served as the foundation for the literature search. Titles, abstracts, keywords, authors, connections, nations, and references are among the metadata that have been saved. Through the use of the Vosviewer software, the collected data were examined using bibliometric indicators for all interactions and collaborations.
 Results: 254 studies that were published between 2012 and 2022 were identified using the bibliometric analysis through searches in the Web of Science database. Total citations for publications on digital dentistry were 2112, averaging 8.31 per article. The 25 H index was identified. These publications had an article document type at a rate of 82.66%. The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry published the most articles on digital dentistry, while it also attracted the most citations.
 Conclusions: The study on digital dentistry was expanding between 2012 and 2022. Extensive partnerships and citations between authors, institutions, and countries or regions have been observed as a result of the global expansion in digital dentistry research. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that research on digital dentistry will continue to be popular. According to recent publications, the accuracy and precision of intraoral scanners, digital impressions, and the variations between different intraoral scanners have all become popular research topics.
