Objectives: The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the studies obtained when searching with the keywords “intraoral scanner” and “dental implant”. Materials and Methods: As a search strategy, a search was performed in the main categories of Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded)) with the terms “intraoral scanner (IOS)” and “dental implant”. The search was limited by document type to “articles” and “reviews” only and restricted to articles published until 2023. All articles were manually reviewed and standardized by 3 independent reviewers to avoid typos and duplication of author names or institutions. Results: The 100 most cited articles were selected from 392 articles that met the criteria. There has been a significant increase in the number of published articles, especially in the last 10 years. The 3 most productive countries are the USA, Italy, and Spain. The continent with the highest number of publications is Europe. The most cited article on this topic has 401 citations, while the total number of articles with over 100 citations is 10. Conclusions: IOSs are an important technology in terms of patient and dentist comfort, the use of which has increased over the years in dentistry. The use of IOSs with dental implants in prosthodontic treatment has become increasingly popular. In this bibliometric study, when the countries with the most publications were analyzed, it was determined that the USA, Spain, and Italy constituted the top 3 countries.
