Abstract Radiographic evaluation of impacted teeth plays a crucial role in dentistry for diagnosis, treatment planning, and the prevention of complications. The present study was designed using bibliometric methods to examine the scientific productivity, conceptual structure, and thematic development of the literature on the radiographic evaluation of impacted teeth. The dataset consisted of articles and reviews published between 2000 and 2025 in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The analyses were performed using the bibliometrix package (version 5.3.0) through R (version 4.6.0), RStudio, and Biblioshiny. An overall increase in scientific production was observed, with the highest publication output recorded in 2024. The analyses revealed that research has primarily focused on cone-beam computed tomography, impacted third molars, and impacted canines. Over time, the research focus has shifted from the general evaluation of impacted teeth toward more specialized topics, such as the relationship between dentigerous cysts and impacted teeth. The findings indicate that the radiographic evaluation of impacted teeth is a rapidly evolving research field, with cone-beam computed tomography becoming the predominant imaging modality and research trends increasingly concentrating on more specialized topics.
