BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF FRACTAL ANALYSIS STUDIES IN PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHY

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of fractal analysis studies in panoramic radiographs. In this context, 226 articles published between 1995 and 2025 in the Web of Science Core Collection database were analyzed. The findings indicate a marked increase in scientific publications after 2019. Keyword and thematic map analyses reveal that fractal analysis and panoramic radiography are positioned within the basic themes, indicating their central role in the literature. In conclusion, this field represents an increasingly important research area with considerable potential for further development.
