We conducted a retrospective study and reviewed the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-related papers published in a leading international journal, , between January 2014 and December 2015. The study was conducted to ascertain and compare the trends of articles being published in the years 2014 and 2015. A total of 28 articles were reviewed, of which most of the full-length articles were on clinical management and outcomes and the role of radiology. The bulk of the studies were prospective, and less interest was shown in experimental research. A thorough review and analysis thus gives the impression that there is a great need for well-designed clinical studies on TMJ.
我们进行了一项回顾性研究,回顾了2014年1月至2015年12月期间在一本领先的国际期刊上发表的与颞下颌关节(TMJ)相关的论文。开展这项研究是为了确定并比较2014年和2015年发表文章的趋势。共审查了28篇文章,其中大多数全文文章涉及临床管理与结果以及放射学的作用。大部分研究是前瞻性的,对实验研究的兴趣较低。因此,全面的回顾和分析给人的印象是,非常需要针对颞下颌关节开展精心设计的临床研究。
