Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate bibliometric indicators of the dental research contributed by Saudi Arabia during the past ten years from January 2014 to December 2023. Research Methodology: The dataset was retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database. The filter of country, publication years, document types and category were applied. The bibliographic details of articles and review articles indexed in the WoS category of “Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine” (DOSM) under the affiliated address of Saudi Arabia were published in the targeted period (2014-2023) were later downloaded. The bibliometric indicators of periodic growth, citation impact, top journals, collaborative countries, contributing organizations, authorship patterns, top authors and keywords were analyzed. Findings: The retrieved dataset demonstrated significant performance over the years, with an average annual growth rate of 14.33%. About half of the research was produced by the authors of three Saudi universities, while the majority of research collaborations were performed with Untied States, Egypt and India. Saudi Medical Journal (SDJ) was found to be the main publication channel followed by BMC Oral Health. Conclusion: The upward trend in dental publications is indicative of excellence in dental education and an increase in research and development efforts, which have been made feasible during the last decade by adequate financial allocation and upgradation of dental research facilities in the country
