Abstract

Background/purpose

Telemedicine has gained the popularity during COVID-19 pandemic. “Teledentistry” as the dental application of telemedicine was also with increased attention. The bibliometric analysis was employed to examine the global research trends and the current implementation status of teledentistry.

Materials and methods

Titles and subjects were searched in the Web of Science database by using the keywords “teledentistry OR oral telemedicine OR dental telemedicine OR telemedicine in dentistry” in the category of Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine. Documents were collected from the establishment date up to December 31, 2023. Microsoft Excel was used for the descriptive and statistical analyses. The data were exhibited with visualization by VOSviewer.

Results

A total of 146 articles were identified for bibliometric analysis. An upward trend in the number of publications was evident. The statistical analysis indicated a notable increased teledentistry publications affected by COVID-19 pandemic (P < 0.01). The applications of teledentistry were mainly related to clinical practice (89.73%), such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, dental caries, oral mucosal lesions, and dental emergencies. For geographic distributions, the United States lead with 46 publications (34%) by corresponding authors listed in the article. The keyword network analysis highlighted the prominent research areas and the changes influenced by the pandemic and technological development, respectively.

Conclusion

This bibliometric study provided an overview of the progress, trends and current directions for teledentistry in the fields of dentistry, oral surgery and medicine.

对牙科、口腔外科和医学类别中发表的远程齿科文献进行文献计量分析
背景/目的在 COVID-19 大流行期间,远程医疗得到了普及。"远程牙科 "作为远程医疗的牙科应用也受到越来越多的关注。材料和方法在 Web of Science 数据库中,以 "teledentistry OR oral telemedicine OR dental telemedicine OR telemedicine in dentistry "为关键词,在牙科、口腔外科及医学类别中检索标题和主题。收集的文件从建立之日起至 2023 年 12 月 31 日。使用 Microsoft Excel 进行描述性分析和统计分析。通过 VOSviewer 对数据进行了可视化展示。论文数量呈明显上升趋势。统计分析表明,受 COVID-19 大流行的影响,远程电学出版物明显增加(P < 0.01)。远程口腔医学的应用主要与临床实践有关(89.73%),如口腔颌面外科、正畸、龋齿、口腔粘膜病变和牙科急诊。在地域分布方面,美国居首位,发表了 46 篇文章(占 34%),作者均为文章中列出的通讯作者。关键词网络分析分别突出了受流行病和技术发展影响的突出研究领域和变化。 结论这项文献计量学研究概述了牙科、口腔外科和医学领域远程医疗的进展、趋势和当前方向。

期刊介绍: he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases. The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
