STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Implant overdentures have been widely used as a treatment option for edentulous patients. However, the development of implants, aside from commercial growth, requires funding assistance to determine scientific reliability and clinical applications. Nonetheless, bibliometric studies in the implant overdenture field are lacking. PURPOSE: The purpose of this bibliometric analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of funding and its bibliometric associated parameters according to the financial assistance granted and the implant overdenture documentation over time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six databases were assessed, and 12 bibliometric parameters related to the economy, geographical origin, publication details, and corresponding author metrics were recorded. An incidence rate ratio was applied by using a multiple Poisson regression model (α=.05) to assess the association between funding and each bibliometric parameter. RESULTS: In total, 1369 studies published between 1986 and 2021 were assessed bibliometrically. The prevalence of funded studies was 34.8% (n=477). The parameter associated with the presence of funding was country income (P<.01), with those having a high and upper-middle income being more funded than those with a lower-middle and low income. Oceania and South America were the continents more frequently funded (P<.05), with Africa being the least frequent. Randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials, in vitro studies, and in silico studies were more funded (P<.001) than case reports and series. Stud and ball attachment systems were more funded (P<.01) than studies with more than 1 retention system. Funding increased over time (P<.01), and corresponding authors with a higher h-index had more studies funded (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: The number of funded studies on implant overdentures increased over the years. Other bibliometric parameters such as country income, continent, study design, retention system, and corresponding author h-index were associated with the frequency of funded studies published.
