Abstrakt: Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the 100 top-cited articles in endodontics and analyse their bibliometric characteristics. Material and methods: The Web of Science database was reviewed to identify the relevant articles. Results : One hundred and three articles were included because the last four articles had the same number of citations. The top-cited article received 2115 citations. The articles were published in 28 different journals, with the most popular publication being the Journal of Endodontics ( n  = 36). The most prolific country was the United States ( n  = 41), followed by Sweden ( n  = 17) and Switzerland ( n  = 8). The most prolific author and institution were M. Torabinejad ( n  = 12) and Umeå University ( n  = 9), respectively. The majority of articles were of a basic science nature ( n  = 55), while endodontic microbiology ( n  = 24) was the most frequent subspecialty. The most common study design used in clinical articles was non-randomized experimental study ( n  = 5). Half of the clinical articles ( n  = 11) had a level III evidence score. Conclusions: The present citation analysis provides insights into the historical progress and current trends in endodontics.
