This study aims to provide visual knowledge maps highlighting the evolving trends and key focus areas in treating skeletal Class II malocclusion with orthognathic surgery, using a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.
Papers on skeletal Class II malocclusion treated with orthognathic surgery, published between January 2000 and December 2023, were retrospectively sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection. The analysis assessed and visualized the distribution of papers, journals, countries/regions, institutions, authors, and keywords using CiteSpace software.
A total of 290 relevant publications were included in the analysis. The annual number of publications showed a steady increase, with a significant rise over the past few years. Concerning output and citations, the leading journal is the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. The USA and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lille were the most prolific countries and institutions. Furthermore, orthognathic surgery, malocclusion, and stability were identified as the keywords with the most frequencies. Research interests gradually shifted from orthognathic surgery, malocclusion, and stability to quality of life, orthodontic-orthognathic therapy, and temporomandibular joint.
Our results provide knowledge maps of that illustrate advancing research trends and key topics about skeletal Class II malocclusion treated with orthognathic surgery, which are anticipated to provide valuable guidance for future research.
本研究旨在通过全面的文献计量分析，提供可视化知识图谱，突出正颌外科治疗骨性II类错牙合畸形的发展趋势和关键重点领域。
回顾性检索2000年1月至2023年12月期间发表在科学网核心合集中的关于正颌外科治疗骨性II类错牙合畸形的论文。使用CiteSpace软件对论文、期刊、国家/地区、机构、作者和关键词的分布进行评估和可视化。
分析共纳入290篇相关出版物。年出版物数量呈稳步增长，在过去几年中有显著上升。在产出和引用方面，领先期刊是《美国正畸与牙颌面正畸杂志》。美国和里尔大学中心医院是发文量最多的国家和机构。此外，正颌外科手术、错牙合畸形和稳定性被确定为出现频率最高的关键词。研究兴趣逐渐从正颌外科手术、错牙合畸形和稳定性转向生活质量、正畸-正颌治疗和颞下颌关节。
我们的结果提供了知识图谱，阐明了正颌外科治疗骨性II类错牙合畸形的研究进展趋势和关键主题，有望为未来研究提供有价值的指导。
