Abstract :Abstract Aim: The post-core restorations are generally used to endodontically treated teeth. Although there are many in vivo and in vitro studies in the literature on such restorations, there is a lack of quantified analysis. In this bibliometric study, it was aimed to examine the studies on post-core restorations in terms of many factors such as author, citation, country, journal, collaborators. Methodology: The literature search was done by typing the word “post-core” in the web of science database. Filtering was done by excluding articles from before 2000. Metadata including titles, abstracts, keywords, authors, links, countries, and references has been recorded. The obtained data were analyzed using bibliometric indicators for all interactions and collaborations via the Vosviewer software program. Results: As a result of filtering and pyramid narrowing, 121 articles were found between the years 2000-2015. While publications on post-core received a total of 11969 citations, this number corresponded to an average of 96.78 per article. The H index was found to be 72. Conclusions: It has been observed that there has been a general increase in the publications on post-core since 2000, this increase is not linear and tends to decrease in some years. Although it is predicted that the interest in post-core restorations will decrease with new systems, it is thought that it will maintain its place in the literature systematically.
