Abstract
Objectives: Bibliometrics helps to reveal the internal relations and development trends of the subject field. This study employs bibliometric analysis to provide a comprehensive scope of dental education over the past decade.
Methods: The Web of Science core collection was searched for articles about dental education between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2023. The CiteSpace and SCImago Graphica software were used to extract and visualize the data, which included information about the number of publications, countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and other details.
Results: 2472 research articles and reviews were included, and the yearly publishing volume demonstrated a general increasing trend over the previous ten years. The United States was a significant nation in the national cooperation network and had the most publications overall (1257 articles). Around 463 writers were included, and M. R. Inglehart was the scholar with the most publications. The most frequent keyword is "dental education". The keywords burst analysis revealed that mental health, online learning, and virtual reality might be the key areas of focus in future research.
Conclusion: This study identified key trends in dental education, emphasizing the need for curriculum optimization and digital innovation. Educators should integrate digital technologies and psychological concepts to improve teaching methods and adapt to evolving educational needs in the future.
目的：文献计量学有助于揭示学科领域的内在联系和发展趋势。本研究采用文献计量学分析来提供过去十年牙科教育的全面范围。方法：检索Web of Science核心馆藏2014年1月1日至2023年12月31日有关口腔教育的文章。使用CiteSpace和SCImago Graphica软件提取和可视化数据，包括出版物数量、国家、机构、作者、关键词和其他细节信息。结果：共纳入研究论文和综述2472篇，年发表量与前10年相比总体呈上升趋势。美国是国家合作网络中的一个重要国家，总体上发表的文章最多（1257篇）。大约有463位作家入选，英格尔哈特是发表文章最多的学者。最常见的关键词是“牙科教育”。关键词爆发分析显示，心理健康、在线学习和虚拟现实可能是未来研究的重点领域。结论：本研究确定了牙科教育的主要趋势，强调了课程优化和数字化创新的必要性。教育工作者应该将数字技术和心理学概念结合起来，改进教学方法，适应未来不断变化的教育需求。
