Poor oral health is a risk factor for oral cancer, and bibliometrics can tell us important things about publication trends and research. Oral cancer risk factors include smoking, betel nut chewing, alcohol consumption, trauma from sharp teeth, chronic infections, and other factors related to oral health. There is a need to understand the role of poor oral health as a risk factor. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature on poor oral health as a risk factor for oral cancer. A bibliometric analysis was conducted for poor oral health as a risk factor for oral cancer using RStudio 2021.09.0+351 "Ghost Orchid" Release (2021-09-20) for Windows, package "bibliometrix." The literary data for this study were derived from Elsevier's Scopus database, and the data were exported in BibTex format. The results considered the time frame of 1983 to 2022, with journals, books, newspaper articles, and others as sources, accounting for a total of 543 documents. The search yielded a total of 2,882 authors, with a total of 3,306 appearances. The results show that the research on poor oral health and oral cancer is mainly led by the United States (106), India (49), and China (46). The top author is Warnakulasuriya S, followed by Worthington HV. The research shows the countries that are currently working on the topics and helps set up future collaborations to improve the evidence produced and help the scientific community by finding research gaps and experts in this area of research.
