<![CDATA[Objectives: This study evaluates the scientific outcomes of endocrown research in terms of publication patterns, prominent publishing authors and countries, highly cited articles, and high-impact keywords using bibliometric analysis. Methods: A search was conducted in the Elsevier Scopus database for articles related to endocrowns using the query TS = “endocrown” OR “endo-crown” OR “endo crown*”. Analysis and visualization of the relevant literature and their publication data were performed using MS Excel, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny. Results: Endocrown research has shown a steady annual growth of 15.23% since 1999, indicating a growing interest and focus in this area. Brazil was ranked among the top contributors, followed by Switzerland. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and Operative Dentistry was found to be the leading publisher of endocrown-related articles, while the Journal Dental Materials accumulated a significant number of citations despite a smaller number of published articles, indicating a high impact per publication. Major core research areas identified in endocrown research include the development of new materials with the incorporation of finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. Finally, endocrown-related emerging keywords include “ceramic” with the highest annual normalized citation (ANC = 1.84), followed by “crown” (ANC = 1.40) and “lithium disilicate” (ANC = 131). Conclusions: The consistent annual growth of endocrown-related publications reflects rising interest in endocrown as a viable treatment option for endodontically treated teeth. It is expected that future research will prioritise exploring new materials and advancements in technology like CAD/CAM, along with incorporating FEA studies.]]>
