ABSTRACT
The use of activated charcoal and probiotics is a controversial topic nowadays due to their
potential oral health benefits. Thus, the aim of this research was to perform a scientometric analysis of
activated charcoal or probiotics in mouthwashes or dentifrices by means of dynamicity, spatiotemporal
evolution, and trends. A study was carried out to look back at scientific publications between 2005 and
2022 using the Web of Science. To analyze the data, various bibliometric indicators were used. The
process of retrieving information was completed on July 28, 2023. It was found that only 1 article was
published in 1990. Furthermore, the highest co-citation occurred in cluster 9 (Dentistry, Dermatology,
Surgery), indicating a higher relevance and frequency with cluster 8 (Molecular Biology, Genetics). In the
cluster view, 15 large clusters were identified, with cluster 0 (Activated Carbon) being the largest and
occupying the greatest centrality. On the other hand, the cross-country collaboration map showed active
collaborations between Australia and New Zealand, Brazil, and Canada. We found a significant growth of
scientific publications on probiotics and activated charcoal in the field of dentistry and related disciplines
between 1990 and 2023.
