Abstract	This study was conducted to evaluate the thematic and conceptual structure of scientific production in the field of sialography using bibliometric analysis methods. Publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database between 1995 and 2025 were analyzed using R, RStudio, Biblioshiny, and the bibliometrix package. Annual Scientific Production Analysis, Authors’ Keywords Co-occurrence Network Analysis, Trend Topics Analysis, Thematic Map Analysis, and Thematic Evolution Analysis were performed. The analyses demonstrated an increasing trend in scientific production over the years, with “sialendoscopy,” “sialadenitis,” and “submandibular gland” emerging as prominent topics in recent years. In addition, “magnetic resonance imaging” and “sjogren’s syndrome” themes became more prominent after 2011. Overall, the findings indicate that research in the field of sialography has evolved over time and that academic interest in the combined use of sialography with advanced imaging modalities has increased.
