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.
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.
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.
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.
颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）和正畸治疗是口腔颌面研究中的重要领域。然而，缺乏突出全球趋势和合作网络的全面文献计量分析。
本研究旨在系统地描绘出版格局，确定主要研究趋势，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。
从科学网核心合集中检索2000年至2024年有关TMD和正畸治疗的出版物。使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和R进行文献计量分析，以评估共同作者网络、机构合作和关键词共现模式。
共确定了871篇出版物，年均增长率为4.4%。文献贡献来自47个国家，涉及3463名作者，美国和日本的被引次数领先。知名机构包括庆熙大学和贝勒大学。主要期刊包括《美国正畸与牙颌面正畸杂志》和《口腔颌面外科杂志》。频繁出现的关键词有“颞下颌关节”、“正颌外科”和“正畸治疗”，表明了重要的研究重点。新兴趋势突出了正畸手术技术的进步和技术创新。
这项文献计量分析为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，强调了该领域的合作性质，并阐明了未来研究的新兴领域。
