Abstract:

Objective

Aimed to analyze and summarize the development and evolution of dissertations in the field of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) specialization in China, discussing the research hotspots, development trends, and frontier trends of these dissertations to provide references for education and research in this field.

Methods

Using bibliometric analysis, this research was based on 658 temporomandibular joint specialization dissertations retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 1993 to 2023. The Cite Space software was employed for visualization processing and analysis. Based on the methods including high-frequency keywords, keyword co-occurrence, emergent keywords, cluster analysis, and timeline analysis, the research hotspots and development trends of these dissertations were systematically summarized.

Results

The most frequently occurring keywords in the research were condyle, condylar cartilage, and osteoarthritis. Research hotspots shifted from early biomechanics and technical studies to in-depth discussions on structural analysis and disease mechanisms. The interdisciplinarity of the field was prominently displayed, showing the diversified trend in the development of the discipline.

Conclusions

Future research needs to further focus on the application of new technologies, the deepening of interdisciplinary research, and research at the cellular and molecular levels, in order to promote the comprehensive development and innovation of talent training and research in TMJ education.

Key words: Temporomandibular joint, Academic dissertation, Visualization analysis, Research hotspots, Development tendency
