Peri‐Implant Diseases and Systemic Conditions: A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis Study on the Interconnections

Aims Preliminary evidence suggested that peri‐implant diseases are local inflammatory oral diseases with systemic implications. This study aimed to explore the relationship between peri‐implant diseases and systemic conditions through publication trends with a bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods A search strategy on Web of Science (WoS) including terms linked to peri‐implant and systemic diseases was conducted and categorized using the 2015 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), excluding terms related to the stomatognathic disease subbranch. Prospective, retrospective, or cross‐sectional cohort studies were included. Data were processed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze keyword co‐occurrence mapping, authorship, institutions, publication trends, and citations. Silhouette score, modularity, and centrality described the network’s quality. Results From an initial pool of 2897 records, 67 articles met the inclusion criteria. A recent increased publication trend was detected, with 76.11% of the literature widespread in the last 5 years. “Nutritional & Metabolic Diseases” was the most representative MeSH category related to peri‐implant diseases (articles = 32), followed by “Pathological Signs and Symptoms” ( n = 9), and “Cardiovascular Diseases” ( n = 7). The top‐occurring keyword was “peri‐implantitis” ( n = 35). The top three most influential journals were Clinical Oral Implant Research, Journal of Clinical Periodontology and Journal of Periodontology. Most of the top‐cited articles analyzed peri‐implant diseases with diabetes mellitus and obesity. Conclusions Research on peri‐implant diseases and systemic conditions is increasing and predominantly focused on metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Future studies should investigate shared inflammatory mechanisms and the role of systemic health in peri‐implant disease progression.
