Abstract: Objective: To analyze the social impact of oral implantology articles published by Chinese authors in recent three years and its associated factors. Methods: PubMed was searched to identify oral implantology articles published during 2017 to 2019, with at least one author from China mainland. Altmetrics Attention Score (AAS) was used to quantify the social impact of articles. Generalized estimation equation analysis was used to investigate the association between AAS and potential factors. Results: Overall, 324 articles were included, the mean (range) AAS was 0.76 (0-30). Clinical studies (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 1.01-1.07, P=0.007), high-level evidence (OR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.08-1.51, P<0.001), and open access articles (OR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.07-1.17, P<0.001) were associated with higher AAS. Conclusion: The social impact of oral implantology articles published by Chinese authors needed improvement.
