Abstract：
Scientometric studies play a crucial role in quantitatively assessing the impact and quantity of scholarly articles, providing a basis for policy-making and informed decision-making processes. Given the ongoing transformation within the Saudi scientific community across various domains, it is essential to establish a baseline for high-quality endodontic research. A comprehensive search in the PubMed database, using the keywords [\"Saudi\" OR \"Saudi Arabia\"] within the time frame of 2014 to 2021. The screening process involved evaluating the title and abstract of each article, with only those classified as endodontic articles included for analysis in this study. The analysis included factors such as the type of paper, the authors, the citations, and the year of publication. Featuring one or more authors affiliated with a Saudi dental institution, 70 papers were specifically categorized as endodontic papers. The most prevalent type of paper was case reports, accounting for 27 articles (28%), followed by literature reviews with 13 articles (18%). The number of authors ranged from one to ten, with a general trend of increasing publication rates over the years. In terms of citations, only four papers received more than 20 citations, while the majority of papers garnered between one and ten citations. Most articles in the field of endodontics exhibited low-level evidence. Therefore, it is recommended that the quality of research output and evidence be enhanced.
摘要：
科学计量研究在定量评估学术文章的影响和数量方面发挥着至关重要的作用，为决策和知情决策过程提供基础。鉴于沙特科学界在各个领域的不断转变，建立高质量牙髓研究的基线至关重要.在PubMed数据库中进行全面搜索，在2014年至2021年的时间范围内使用关键字[\"沙特\"或\"沙特阿拉伯\"]。筛选过程涉及评估每篇文章的标题和摘要，只有那些被归类为牙髓的文章在本研究中进行分析。分析包括纸张类型等因素，作者,引文，和出版的年份。拥有一名或多名附属于沙特牙科机构的作者，70篇论文被专门归类为牙髓论文。最普遍的论文类型是病例报告，占27篇文章(28%)，其次是文献综述，共13篇（18%）。作者的数量从一到十个不等，多年来出版率呈上升趋势。就引文而言，只有四篇论文被引用了20多篇，而大多数论文的引用次数在1到10次之间。牙髓学领域的大多数文章都表现出低水平的证据。因此,建议提高研究成果和证据的质量。
