There is a paucity of information about the dental specialties related articles published in the Medical Journal Armed Forces India (MJAFI). This study aimed to audit the dental specialities related articles published in MJAFI from 2000 to 2014 over a 15-year period. Bibliometric analysis of sixty issues of MJAFI from 2000 to 2014 were performed using web-based search. The articles published were analyzed for type of article and topic of individual dental specialities. The articles published were also evaluated to identify whether the study was an Armed Forces Medical Research Committee Project or funded research project or not. Out of the total 118 published articles related to dental specialities, original articles (55) and case reports (49) contribute the major share. The highest number of dental specialities related articles was published in 2009 with 16, followed by 2010 with 13 and 2011 with 11 and the least published year was 2013 with 3 articles. Regarding the relationship with dental specialities, the maximum number of published articles were related to oral medicine and radiology (56) followed by oral and maxillofacial surgery (49), orthodontics (23) and prosthodontics (17). Among the articles published in MJAFI, maxillofacial injuries (11) followed by orthodontic treatment (8) and craniofacial deformities (8) form the major attraction of the contributors. Among the 118 dental speciality articles, there were only 4 Armed Forces Medical Research Committee Project articles and 19 funded research project articles. An equal distribution of articles related to clinical dentistry and nonclinical dentistry is maintained for the MJAFI from 2000 to 2014 over a 15-year period.
关于发表在《印度武装部队医学杂志》（MJAFI）上的牙科专业相关文章的信息匮乏。本研究旨在审核2000年至2014年这15年间发表在MJAFI上的牙科专业相关文章。使用基于网络的搜索对2000年至2014年的60期MJAFI进行文献计量分析。对发表的文章进行分析，以确定文章类型和各个牙科专业的主题。还对发表的文章进行评估，以确定该研究是否为武装部队医学研究委员会项目或资助研究项目。在总共118篇发表的与牙科专业相关的文章中，原创文章（55篇）和病例报告（49篇）占了大部分。与牙科专业相关文章发表数量最多的年份是2009年，有16篇，其次是2010年有13篇，2011年有11篇，发表数量最少的年份是2013年，有3篇文章。关于与牙科专业的关系，发表文章数量最多的是口腔医学和放射学（56篇），其次是口腔颌面外科（49篇）、正畸学（23篇）和修复学（17篇）。在MJAFI上发表的文章中，颌面损伤（11篇）、其次是正畸治疗（8篇）和颅面畸形（8篇）是作者关注的主要内容。在118篇牙科专业文章中，只有4篇是武装部队医学研究委员会项目文章，19篇是资助研究项目文章。在2000年至2014年这15年间，MJAFI保持了临床牙科和非临床牙科相关文章的均衡分布。
