Data were obtained from SCOPUS database. The aim is to determine the volume of scientific output, the countries involved and the trends in the subject matters addressed. Significant growth is observed in scientific production since 2007 and particularly in the period 2007–2014. The countries found to have the highest output are United States, United Kingdom, China, Switzerland and Germany. Authors collaboration networks show that research groups are forming around this subject matter. The bibliometric maps showed an increase in the publishing activity in the last periods and subjects like tooth-implantation, dental-implants and diabetes mellitus were the most productive
