Abstract
Conduct a bibliometric analysis of articles related to dentistry and autism. A search strategy was constructed and conducted at the Web of Science database. The following information was extracted from each paper: title, authorship, year of publication, title of the journal, study subject dental care, oral health status, dental behavior support), study design, and number of citations. A total of 2,637 articles were obtained from the WoS-CC search. After selection, 422 papers were included, published from 1996 to 2024, and had 6,728 citations. Observational studies constituted most publications (214 papers). Among the focus of published articles, "oral health status" emerged as the predominant subject followed by "dental behavior support". More than half of the included papers were published in the last five years, accounting for 70.6% of the total. There has been a notable increase in research publications on autism and dentistry over time, primarily comprising observational studies. The predominant themes revolved around oral health status and dental behavior support.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders seeks to advance theoretical and applied research as well as examine and evaluate clinical diagnoses and treatments for autism and related disabilities. JADD encourages research submissions on the causes of ASDs and related disorders, including genetic, immunological, and environmental factors; diagnosis and assessment tools (e.g., for early detection as well as behavioral and communications characteristics); and prevention and treatment options. Sample topics include: Social responsiveness in young children with autism Advances in diagnosing and reporting autism Omega-3 fatty acids to treat autism symptoms Parental and child adherence to behavioral and medical treatments for autism Increasing independent task completion by students with autism spectrum disorder Does laughter differ in children with autism? Predicting ASD diagnosis and social impairment in younger siblings of children with autism The effects of psychotropic and nonpsychotropic medication with adolescents and adults with ASD Increasing independence for individuals with ASDs Group interventions to promote social skills in school-aged children with ASDs Standard diagnostic measures for ASDs Substance abuse in adults with autism Differentiating between ADHD and autism symptoms Social competence and social skills training and interventions for children with ASDs Therapeutic horseback riding and social functioning in children with autism Authors and readers of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders include sch olars, researchers, professionals, policy makers, and graduate students from a broad range of cross-disciplines, including developmental, clinical child, and school psychology; pediatrics; psychiatry; education; social work and counseling; speech, communication, and physical therapy; medicine and neuroscience; and public health.
