countries had a Variation in gross domestic product rate and ranking of oral cancer research.
Conclusion: This study concluded that the United States of America ranks first in the gross domestic rate
and scientific oral cancer research output. The evaluation of scientific oral cancer research enables a country
to define its position and in order to improve the funding resources of the research field.
