Abstract

Purpose: To analyze 30-year global trends in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery(OMS) education research through bibliometrics, assessing publication patterns, key contributors, and emerging teaching methodologies.

Methods: The study analyzed publications on teaching methodologies in oral and maxillofacial surgery within the Web of Science Core Collection, covering the period from 1994 to 2024. A systematic compilation methodology was employed, including rigorous literature retrieval with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, data cleaning using CiteSpace software to eliminate redundant entries, and comprehensive analysis using multiple tools such as Microsoft Excel for data management, Bibliometric Online Analysis Platform for inter-country collaboration visualization, R software for geospatial data visualization, CiteSpace for constructing visual networks of various elements, and Origin for annual publication analysis. Using these tools, we conducted a bibliometric analysis and visualization of teaching methodologies in this surgical field.

Results: The number of relevant publications in this research area demonstrates a fluctuating yet overall upward trend, totaling 248 articles and 15 reviews. These contributions originate from 37 countries, 41 institutions, and involve 1,306 authors. The USA, UK, and Germany are the leading contributors. Most articles were published in the "Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery." Key authors include Robert Sader, Lukas B. Seifert, and Jasmina Sterz, while Frank Hoelzle has the most influence. The predominant keywords are "skills," "experience," and "competence."

Conclusion: The bibliometric analysis of oral and maxillofacial surgery education highlights a dynamic field with a rising global scholarly interest. The USA, UK, and Germany lead in research contributions, and diverse teaching methods, from traditional lectures to cutting-edge simulations, -playing a crucial role in student development. Despite the challenges, such as resource constraints and the need for technological advancement, the integration of these methods and the adoption of innovative technologies are pivotal for advancing OMS education. This comprehensive approach is essential for equipping future surgeons with the competencies required to thrive in the complex and evolving field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

口腔颌面外科教育教学方法的全球趋势：30年文献计量学分析。

目的：修订：通过文献计量学、评估出版模式、主要贡献者和新兴教学方法，分析口腔颌面外科（OMS）教育研究的30年全球趋势。方法：对1994 - 2024年Web of Science核心馆藏中有关口腔颌面外科教学方法的出版物进行分析。采用了系统的编制方法，包括严格的文献检索和特定的纳入和排除标准，使用CiteSpace软件清理数据以消除冗余条目，并使用多种工具进行综合分析，如Microsoft Excel进行数据管理，文献计量在线分析平台进行跨国协作可视化，R软件进行地理空间数据可视化，CiteSpace构建各种元素的可视化网络，和来源进行年度出版物分析。使用这些工具，我们对该外科领域的教学方法进行了文献计量分析和可视化。结果：本研究领域相关论文数量呈波动上升趋势，共计248篇，综述15篇。这些贡献来自37个国家、41个机构，涉及1306位作者。美国、英国和德国是主要贡献者。大部分文章发表在《口腔颌面外科杂志》上。主要作者包括Robert Sader， Lukas B. Seifert和Jasmina Sterz，而Frank Hoelzle的影响力最大。主要的关键词是“技能”、“经验”和“能力”。结论：口腔颌面外科教育的文献计量学分析突出了一个全球学术兴趣不断上升的动态领域。美国、英国和德国在研究贡献方面处于领先地位，从传统讲座到尖端模拟的多样化教学方法在学生发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管存在资源限制和技术进步需求等挑战，但这些方法的整合和创新技术的采用对于推进OMS教育至关重要。这种综合的方法对于装备未来的外科医生在复杂和不断发展的口腔颌面外科领域中茁壮成长所需的能力是必不可少的。
