Abstract
The study was undertaken to estimate the availability of literature on PubMed-medline by Indian prosthodontists from 1995 to 2010 by using bibliometric analysis. The articles available on PubMed-Medline database in time span of 1 st January 1995 to 31 st December 2010, where authors' affiliation had the words "Dental" and "India" were selected. The information collected were: name of the journal, year of publication, specialty of the first author, number of authors, reach of the journal, status of the journal, , state of origin, and type of article. From this data, the performance of specialty of prosthodontics was analyzed. The number of articles published by prosthodontist was 121. Among them, 73 got published in international journals and 48 in Indian journals. A majority of 44 journals were published in Indian Journal of Dental Research followed by 15 in the Journal of prosthodontics. Out of these articles, 72 were on the basis of original research done by the authors. Nearly 47.1% of the published articles were from the institutes in Karnataka, followed by Tamil nadu (16.5%), and Maharashtra (8.3%). Although the overall distribution of the publication trends seems to be constant from 1996 to 2006, there seems to be boom in the publication trend since 2007.The result of this study could be used by various professional societies, individual scientists, scholarly institutions, and funding organizations to frame essential policies regarding the improvement of the science of prosthodontist and to the benefit of common Indians.
