Abstract
Background The academic scientific research in the field of dentistry has rapidly increased in the last 20 years under the pressure of the multidisciplinary technological advancements and the growing demand for new predictable and cost-effective techniques and materials. The aim of the present investigation was to analyze the academic scientific production conducted by Italian Academies and Dental Schools. Methods The list of MED/28 academic researchers, associate and full professors, and academic affiliations was collected from the national database of CINECA to evaluate the scientific output of the Italian Universities. The complete list of scientific contributions and the bibliometric parameters were recorded in the Scopus database. Results The scientific production of 37 Italian Universities, 416 researchers, and 23689 papers was evaluated. The measurement of total academic papers, citations, h-index, and relative citation ratio (RCR) was calculated. The study data showed an increase of the academic scientific production over the last 5 years. Conclusions The results presented show how scientific research is increasingly pursued by dental clinicians.
Highlights
In recent years, the progress of scientific research in medicine and dentistry is growing due to the technological advances in techniques and materials that are improving the quality of life [1,2,3].The academic scientific research has gradually increased in the last years following the world trend and today represents an important element for university academic careers in the bibliometric disciplines [4, 5]

Summary
The academic scientific research has gradually increased in the last years following the world trend and today represents an important element for university academic careers in the bibliometric disciplines [4, 5]. Scientometrics is the discipline that evaluates the quality of the scientific production by techniques and indicators able to measure the bibliographic data and the process of scholarly communication [6,7,8,9]. The academic scientific research in the field of dentistry has rapidly increased in the last 20 years under the pressure of the multidisciplinary technological advancements and the growing demand for new predictable and cost-effective techniques and materials. The list of MED/28 academic researchers, associate and full professors, and academic affiliations was collected from the national database of CINECA to evaluate the scientific output of the Italian Universities. The results presented show how scientific research is increasingly pursued by dental clinicians
