N2 - Aim: The objective of this study is to perform a bibliometric mapping of the scientific production of lasers in endodontics using collaborative networks, impact, and trends. Materials and Methods: This retrospective and descriptive study used a bibliometric design to analyze laser use in endodontics in Scopus from 2018 to 2024. In total, 877 documents were identified using key terms and MeSH. Bibliometric indicators were used to explore scientific activity and impact, and VOSviewer was used for data analysis. Results: It was found that the year with the highest number of publications was 2023, with 166, and the quartiles with the highest productivity were Q1 (40.3%) and Q2 (31.1%). Among the top 5 countries with the highest publications production, Brazil led the group with 125, followed by India (111). Among the institutions with the highest production, the Universidade de São Paulo tops the list with 51 research papers, closely followed by the Tehran University of Medical Sciences with 32 and the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho with 30. Among the most outstanding authors, we have Chiniforush Nasim, who has 20 papers; however, Duarte Marco has an h-index of 48, and Sivieri-Araújo Gustavo has the highest number of citations. Conclusion: This bibliometric mapping reaffirmed the vision and trends of lasers in endodontics, with 2023 being the most relevant in terms of scientific production and, among the countries with the highest number of publications, Brazil stood out.
