Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of the 50 most cited articles on the relationship between diet during the first 1000 days of life and early childhood caries (ECC). Material and Methods: Web of Science Core Collection (WoS-CC) database was searched. The following data were extracted from each article: article title, the number of citations, authors, country, keywords, year of publication, study design, and topic. Poisson regression was used to determine associations between citations and bibliometric data (p<0.05). Results: The Articles were published between 1992 and 2019 and had been cited from 36 to 3252 times. The United States led the publications (26%), followed by Australia (16%), England (14%) and Brazil (12%). Most studies were cross-sectional [38%]; the most cited article was the literature review (56%). The most cited topic was ECC and breastfeeding (53%). Literature reviews (RR = 5.287; 95% CI = 2.92–9.58) published by authors from Brazil (RR = 3.653; 95% CI = 1.35–9.88) and on ECC and breastfeeding (RR = 2.434; 95% CI = 1.32–4.48) had a higher citation rate in WoS-CC. Conclusion: The relationship between the diet during the first 1000 days of life and ECC has received increased research attention in the last decade.
