The study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the GentleWave system (Sonendo, Inc.). An electronic search was conducted in June 2024 using Web Science Collection database. Two reviewers independently screened publications, extracting data on authorship, publication details, design, and citation metrics. Statistical analyses were performed R assess variable correlations, while VOSviewer (Visualization Similarities Viewer) software used map author keyword networks. yielded 47 records, with 32 studies included. Publications spanned 2014 2024. Journal Endodontics published highest number (n = 15), International Endodontic had impact factor (5.4). University British Columbia Sonendo, Inc. most frequent affiliations. Among articles, 28 vitro studies, primarily focusing microbiology 9). A total 95 authors identified, Haapasalo Shen being cited 229). articles accumulated 495 citations, demonstrating strong positive correlation between counts (r 0.98). highlights predominance studies. Geographic concentration United States Canada limits diversity, numbers citations suggests that increased volume enhances visibility.
