Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 2024 Oct 7:10556656241288192. doi: 10.1177/10556656241288192.
This bibliometric study seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the 100 most frequently cited articles in the domain of cleft orthodontics. The analysis will reveal key influential publications, collaborative author networks, and identify prevailing research themes within the field.
The studies related to Orthodontics in the realm of cleft lip and palate (CLP) were retrieved from the Scopus database on 30th August 2024 using key terms. The results obtained were sorted in descending order of citations and the 100 top-cited articles were hand-filtered. RStudio software version 4.2.0 and Bibliometrix R-package was used for performing scientometrics involving co-citation, co-occurrence, collaboration and co-word analyses, bibliographic coupling and network mapping.
A total of n = 3984 articles were retrieved from which top-100 cited articles were filtered. These documents were published during 1950-2019 with peak production in 1997. The United States and the Netherlands were the most prolific countries involved in the given research. The majority of the highly referenced articles pertained to alveolar bone grafting, and treatment outcomes being the second common focus followed by Infant and early orthopedics (Naso-alveolar moulding, Maxillary Protraction) and facial growth during the given period.
Thematic mapping depicted bone grafting, alveoloplasty (infant orthopedics) and maxillofacial development as the more developed core topics than the psychology and self-perception of patients with CLP. Recent research trends have shifted towards three-dimensional assessment methods.
本文献计量学研究旨在全面概述唇腭裂正畸领域中被引用频率最高的100篇文章。该分析将揭示关键的有影响力的出版物、合作作者网络，并确定该领域内普遍存在的研究主题。
2024年8月30日，使用关键词从Scopus数据库中检索唇腭裂（CLP）领域中与正畸相关的研究。将获得的结果按引用次数降序排列，并人工筛选出被引用次数最多的100篇文章。使用RStudio软件版本4.2.0和Bibliometrix R包进行科学计量学分析，包括共被引分析、共现分析、合作分析和共词分析、文献耦合分析和网络映射。
共检索到n = 3984篇文章，从中筛选出被引用次数最多的前100篇文章。这些文献发表于1950年至2019年期间，1997年发表量达到峰值。美国和荷兰是参与该研究的最多产国家。大多数高引用文章涉及牙槽骨移植，治疗结果是第二个常见重点，其次是婴儿期和早期正畸（鼻牙槽塑形、上颌前牵引）以及该时期的面部生长。
主题映射显示，与唇腭裂患者的心理和自我认知相比，骨移植、牙槽成形术（婴儿正畸）和颌面发育是更成熟的核心主题。最近的研究趋势已转向三维评估方法。
