Documents published between 1986 and 2024 that addressed topics related to periapical lesions in the veterinary field were included. Articles, reviews, book chapters, and books containing specific key terms in their titles or abstracts, such as \u201cperiapical abscess,\u201d \u201cperiapical infection,\u201d and \u201cperiapical pathology,\u201d were selected. Documents unrelated to the veterinary field, duplicates, and those that did not provide relevant information were excluded. The search was conducted in Scopus on December 28, 2024, using a specific search formula. The data selection and extraction process was conducted using RStudio and the Bibliometrix package, and VOSviewer was used for the co\u2010occurrence analysis of keywords. Lotka\u2019s law, Bradford\u2019s law, and thematic evolution were applied for data analysis. The study covered the period from 1986 to 2024 and analyzed 95 documents from 37 sources with an annual growth rate of 2.93%. The average age of the documents was 12.2\u2009years, with an average of 13.96 citations per document and 2345 references. A total of 280 authors participated, with only 15 single\u2010author documents and an average of 3.83 co\u2010authors per document. International collaborations accounted for 11.58% of the total. The most productive journals were the \u201c\n                    <jats:italic>Journal of Comparative Pathology<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u201d and the \u201c\n                    <jats:italic>Journal of Veterinary Dentistry<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\u201d Research in veterinary dentistry showed a significant increase between 2012 and 2024, highlighting topics such as dental pathology and periapical infection. The keyword co\u2010occurrence analysis revealed four main clusters: \u201cDental pathology,\u201d \u201cDog,\u201d \u201cHorse,\u201d and \u201cRoot canal treatment.\u201d The field of dental pathology holds significant promise for continued research, especially in the creation of innovative treatments and therapeutic applications for animal dental issues. Global collaborations and the identification of thematic clusters offer a robust framework for steering future research toward emerging and impactful areas.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/vmi\/4483647","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T08:52:12Z","timestamp":1778748732000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bibliometric Analysis of the Worldwide Scientific Production on Periapical Lesions in Veterinary Medicine: Visualization, Emerging Patterns, and Thematic Evolution"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2157-5444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Barriga-Yauri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3337-4098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Alvitez-Temoche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0594-5834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucia","family":"Quispe-Tasayco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7176-4417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Medina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4692-942X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fran","family":"Espinoza-Carhuancho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2251-8092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josmel","family":"Pacheco-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3280-0024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank","family":"Mayta-Tovalino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2019.01664"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034520952341"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joen.2021.09.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14744\/eej.2020.42714"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-018-0520-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr.20190290"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jobcr.2024.02.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-6440202405509"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3569281"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.24262"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/520429a"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbusres.2022.04.042"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jioh.jioh_23_24"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iej.13467"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iej.13677"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iej.13912"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joen.2023.07.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joen.2024.12.016","article-title":"Apical Periodontitis and Systemic Health: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Most-Cited Publications","volume":"51","author":"Ferraz D.
