Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orthodontic treatment are significant areas within dental and maxillofacial research. However, comprehensive bibliometric analyses highlighting global trends and collaboration networks are lacking.
Objective(s): This study aims to systematically map the publication landscape, identify prevailing research trends, highlight influential authors and institutions, and illuminate emerging topics in TMD and orthodontic research.
Methods: Publications concerning TMD and orthodontic treatment from 2000 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R to evaluate co-authorship networks, institutional collaborations, and keyword co-occurrence patterns.
Results: A total of 871 publications were identified, with an average annual growth rate of 4.4%. Contributions came from 47 countries and involved 3,463 authors, with the USA and Japan leading in citations. Notable institutions included Kyung Hee University and Baylor University. Key journals included the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Frequently occurring keywords were "temporomandibular-joint," "orthognathic surgery," and "orthodontic treatment," indicating essential research foci. Emerging trends highlighted advancements in surgical techniques and technological innovations in orthodontics.
Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into global research trends and hotspots in TMD and orthodontic treatment, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the field and illuminating emerging areas for future investigation.

Exploring the association between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders in pediatric patient: A retrospective study.
J Orthod Sci
November 2024
Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Chhattisgarh Dental College and Research Institute, Chhattisgarh, India.
Objective: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between orthodontic treatment and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in pediatric patients.
Methods: This study analyzed 122 pediatric patients (age 10-18 years) who underwent orthodontic treatment. The inclusion criteria included comprehensive orthodontic records and substantial clinical documentation, while the exclusion criteria targeted preexisting TMDs or syndromes affecting the temporomandibular joint.

Purpose: To analyze dynamic and static changes in the disc-condyle relationship in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion after orthognathic surgery.
Methods: The surgical group comprised 30 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, and the magnetic resonance imaging and mandibular movement data were obtained at T0 (preoperatively), T1 (3 months postoperatively), and T2 (at the end of orthodontic treatment). The control group included 20 patients with normal occlusion, and the mandibular movement data were recorded.

Bruxism, Lifestyle, Anxiety, and Sleep Impairment in Dental Students.
Sleep Sci
December 2024
Department of Stomatology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil.
The aim of this study was to verify the correlation of self-reported sleep and awake bruxism with demographic characteristics, oral behaviors, anxiety, temporomandibular disorder (TMD) signs and symptoms, sleep quality, and orthodontic treatment history in dental students. A total of 104 students of Dentistry located in Paraná (South Brazilian State) answered the following self-administered questionnaires: Oral Behavior Checklist, State Anxiety Inventory, TMD signs and symptoms questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Associations between possible awake bruxism (AB) and sleep bruxism (SB) with sleep quality, anxiety, and TMD were analyzed by Poisson Regression with robust variance.

Objectives: To establish a quantitative method for objectively assessing 3-dimensional (3D) mandibular trajectories and comparing clinical evaluations with computational analyses.
Methods: In total, 184 volunteers were recruited and grouped into control (n = 121) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) groups (n = 63) according to the dual-axis DC/TMD checklist. 3D trajectories were generated by integrating mandibular motion and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records.
