Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the most cited articles on clear aligners in the last 10 years and to evaluate them using bibliometric analysis and to determine the most researched and applied methods. Material and Methods: A comprehensive electronic literature search was conducted on the Web of Science (WoS) database on January 28, 2024, with keywords related to clear plates, without any restrictions. The 116 most cited articles on clear aligners were analyzed, and the relationship between popular research topics, institutions, important authors, countries, and journals in this field was determined using the bibliometric analysis method. Results: A total of 458 authors contributed to the most cited articles in the last 10 years. The total number of citations of the articles varied between 21-162. The highest number of publications was found in the Angle Orthodontist journal with 8 articles in 2017. The highest number of articles was published in Italy and the USA (32). A significant collaboration was observed between Italy, the USA and China. The majority of the macro-level studies (108 articles) were conducted in the field of "Dentistry and Oral Medicine", followed by "Health Literacy and Telemedicine" (5 articles). Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides valuable information about trends in clear aligner research from the most cited articles. This analysis contributes to the development of more effective treatment methods in the clear aligner field and to the identification of methods to increase patient comfort.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, son 10 yılda şeffaf plaklar üzerine en çok atıf alan makaleleri belirleyip bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile değerlendirmek ayrıca en çok araştırılan ve uygulanan yöntemleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 28 Ocak 2024 tarihinde Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanında, şeffaf plaklarla ilgili aranan anahtar kelimelerle, herhangi bir kısıtlama olmaksızın kapsamlı bir elektronik literatür taraması yapıldı. Şeffaf plaklar hakkında en çok atıf alan 116 makale analiz edilerek, bu alandaki popüler araştırma konuları, kurumlar, önemli yazarlar, ülkeler ve dergiler arasındaki ilişki bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile belirlendi. Bulgular: Son 10 yılda en çok atıf alan makalelere toplam 458 yazar katkıda bulunmuştur. Makalelerin toplam atıf sayısı 21-162 arasında değişmektedir. En fazla yayın 2017 yılında 8 makale ile ''Angle Orthodontist'' dergisinde bulundu. En fazla makale İtalya ve ABD'de (32) yayınlandı. İtalya, ABD ve Çin arasında önemli bir iş birliği olduğu gözlendi. Makro düzeydeki çalışmaların çoğunluğu (108 makale) "Diş Hekimliği ve Ağız Hastalıkları" alanında yürütüldü, bunu "Sağlık Okuryazarlığı ve Telemedikal" (5 makale) alanı izledi. Sonuç: Bu bibliyometrik analiz, en çok atıf alan makalelerden şeffaf plak araştırmalarındaki eğilimler hakkında değerli bilgiler sağlar. Bu analiz, şeffaf plak alanında daha etkili tedavi yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine ayrıca hasta konforunun artırılmasına yönelik yöntemlerin belirlenmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır.
