Evolution of scaffold materials for periodontal therapeutics over two decades (2005-2025): A bibliometric mapping analysis.

Researchers analysed 528 publications over two decades to track how research on periodontal scaffold materials evolved, finding a shift from early laboratory studies towards modern clinical applications using multifunctional biomaterials like hydrogels and 3D-printed scaffolds.
