Abstract

Background

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orthodontic treatment are significant areas within dental and maxillofacial research. However, comprehensive bibliometric analyses highlighting global trends and collaboration networks are lacking.

Objective(s)

This study aims to systematically map the publication landscape, identify prevailing research trends, highlight influential authors and institutions, and illuminate emerging topics in TMD and orthodontic research.

Methods

Publications concerning TMD and orthodontic treatment from 2000 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R to evaluate co-authorship networks, institutional collaborations, and keyword co-occurrence patterns.

Results

A total of 871 publications were identified, with an average annual growth rate of 4.4 %. Contributions came from 47 countries and involved 3,463 authors, with the USA and Japan leading in citations. Notable institutions included Kyung Hee University and Baylor University. Key journals included the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Frequently occurring keywords were "temporomandibular-joint," "orthognathic surgery," and "orthodontic treatment," indicating essential research foci. Emerging trends highlighted advancements in surgical techniques and technological innovations in orthodontics.

Conclusion

This bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into global research trends and hotspots in TMD and orthodontic treatment, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the field and illuminating emerging areas for future investigation.

绘制颞下颌疾病和正畸治疗的研究景观：文献计量学分析。

背景：颞下颌疾病（TMD）和正畸治疗是牙科和颌面研究的重要领域。然而，缺乏全面的文献计量分析来突出全球趋势和合作网络。目的：本研究旨在系统地绘制出版景观，确定流行的研究趋势，突出有影响力的作者和机构，并阐明TMD和正畸研究中的新兴主题。方法：检索Web of Science Core Collection中2000 ~ 2024年有关TMD和正畸治疗的出版物。利用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和R进行文献计量分析，评估合作作者网络、机构合作和关键词共现模式。结果：共鉴定出版物871篇，年均增长率为4.4%。文章来自47个国家，涉及3,463位作者，其中引用最多的是美国和日本。著名学府包括庆熙大学和贝勒大学。主要期刊包括《美国口腔正畸与牙面矫形学杂志》和《口腔颌面外科杂志》。频繁出现的关键词是“颞下颌关节”、“正颌外科”和“正畸治疗”，表明了重要的研究重点。新兴趋势突出了外科技术的进步和正畸学的技术创新。结论：本文献计量分析为TMD和正畸治疗的全球研究趋势和热点提供了有价值的见解，强调了该领域的协作性，并为未来的研究指明了新兴领域。
