An increasing number of articles on orthognathic surgery are published every year. This paper aims to provide a list of the top 100 cited articles on orthognathic surgery to help any professional level with interest in this topic and to map the trends of orthognathic surgery publications over time.
A bibliographic search (retrospective study) following STROBE guidelines was performed on Google Scholar (GS) and Dimensions with the term "orthognathic surgery" in the title, abstract, and keywords. The number of citations, citations per year, authors, and publication year were evaluated. A ranking was created in GS citations order with the top 100 cited articles and variables discussed individually. A graphical illustration of keywords was created using VOSviewer. These steps are fundamental in creating this list and relating it to all published articles on the topic.
A helpful list of the top 100 articles was developed to help professionals in entirely different manners. Virtual planning and complications in orthognathic surgery were the most cited topics, with a 95% confidence interval (P < .05). Some curiosities are discussed, such as increasing interest in surgery first and the relation between airway/obstructive sleep apnea and orthognathic surgery.
Bibliometric and altmetric analysis for free using Google Scholar and Dimensions is laborious but possible. Bibliometrics is a powerful tool to become actualized at any health professional level, from students to academics; and could save considerable effort and time for parties interested in the topic. Appropriate keywords are a crucial step to wider article dissemination.
每年发表的正颌外科学相关文章数量不断增加。本文旨在提供正颌外科学高引文献 100 篇列表，以帮助任何对该主题感兴趣的专业水平的人员，并绘制正颌外科学文献随时间的发表趋势。
根据 STROBE 指南，在 Google Scholar（GS）和 Dimensions 上进行了标题、摘要和关键词中包含“正颌外科”的文献检索（回顾性研究）。评估了引文数量、每年的引文数、作者和出版年份。在 GS 引文顺序中创建了排名，列出了前 100 篇高引文章，并分别讨论了变量。使用 VOSviewer 创建了关键词的图形说明。这些步骤是创建该列表并将其与该主题的所有已发表文章相关联的基础。
开发了一个有用的前 100 篇文章列表，以帮助专业人员以完全不同的方式受益。虚拟规划和正颌外科并发症是被引用最多的主题，置信区间为 95%（P<.05）。讨论了一些有趣的问题，例如手术的兴趣增加和气道/阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与正颌外科之间的关系。
使用 Google Scholar 和 Dimensions 免费进行文献计量学和替代计量学分析虽然费力但却是可行的。文献计量学是一种强大的工具，任何健康专业水平的人员（从学生到学者）都可以使用它，对于关注该主题的人员来说，可以节省大量的精力和时间。适当的关键词是提高文章传播范围的关键步骤。
