J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:922-930. [PMID: 38677326 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Anticipating trends and pursuing innovative ideas are imperative for the advancement of science. The objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of 3-dimensional virtual simulation in orthognathic surgery, explore its implications for clinical practice, and identify future publication trends through digital tools. METHODS This study employed a retrospective bibliometric analysis using data obtained from the Web of Science database. The search strategy focused on articles related to orthognathic surgery and virtual simulation techniques. RStudio and bibliometrix tools were used to data mining. The independent variables retrieved from digital analysis were the emerging themes related to virtual planning in orthognathic surgery. The trends that we identified were facial esthetics, digital workflow, personalized treatments, and complex cases. The primary outcome variable was the number of publications dedicated to virtual simulation in orthognathic surgery, along with secondary outcomes such as citation rates, language of publication, country of origin, institutional affiliations, and emerging research themes. Covariates included variables related to publication characteristics, author affiliations, and geographic distribution of publications. Publication analyses over time involved descriptive statistics, regression analysis, Pearson correlation tests, and graphical representation techniques. Statistical significance was set at a 95% confidence interval (P value < .05). RESULTS A comprehensive analysis of 987 articles reveals the impact of included authors, with a mean h-index of 62 (SD = 18.4). The analysis further illuminates a discernible upward trend in publications on this subject, showcasing a linear pattern with a notable R2 value of 0.88 (P = .021). English remains the predominant language of publication, accounting for 97.97% of articles, while contributions hailed from a diverse spectrum of 56 countries. Interestingly, a moderate correlation emerges between publication numbers and gross domestic product per capita (r = 0.30, P = .044) and total area (r = 0.30, P = .032), whereas a more substantial correlation is evident with total population (r = 0.61, P = .034). Notably, the most cited article amassed 254 citations. Furthermore, a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.97 underscores the correlation between citation density and the year of publication. CONCLUSION The bibliometric indicators provided insights for evaluating research productivity and the quality of research output. Emerging themes included facial esthetics, 3-dimensional printing, and the utilization of custom-made templates and implants. This study holds relevance for maxillofacial surgeons, academics, and researchers alike.

[PMID: 37490998 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.06.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint total joint replacement (TMJTJR) offers patients the opportunity for improved function and reduced pain. TMJTJR also has the potential to affect a patient's emotions in a positive or negative manner. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in emotional state for subjects undergoing TMJTJR. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE The authors implemented a retrospective cohort study. Subjects who received TMJTJR were identified from the TMJ Inter Network, which is a study group comprising more than 130 temporomandibular joint surgeons. Subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 years with complete medical records and pre/post TMJTJR video/audio recordings were enrolled in the study. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable was time (preoperative and postoperative). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variable is change in the emotional state. All subjects had preoperative (T0) recorded interview as well as a postoperative (T1) interview at 3 to 6 months. The eight-category emotional state was classified as neutral, happy, sad, angry, fearful, disgusted, surprised, and bored. The three-category emotional state was classified as neutral, positive, and negative. The emotional state was measured using artificial intelligence at T0 and T1. The secondary outcome variable was pain score and maximal interincisal opening. COVARIATES The covariates are gender, age, diagnosis, prosthetic side, TMJTJR design, and TMJTJR type. ANALYSES The relationship between emotional state change and covariates was examined using both the χ2 test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The significance of the change in categorical data after surgery was examined using the McNemar-Bowker test. P values < .05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS Thirty-three subjects were included in the study. The mean age was 30.09 ± 8.69 with 15 males (45%) and 18 females (55%). The percentage of subjects with preoperative neutral, happy, sad, angry, and fearful emotional states was 24, 15, 24, 9, and 27%, respectively. The percentage of subjects with postoperative neutral, happy, sad, angry, and fearful emotional states was 21, 39, 21, 12, and 6%, respectively. The change in emotional state was statistically significant (P = .037). There was no statistically significant relationship between covariates and emotional state changes (P > .05). CONCLUSION According to the assessment of artificial intelligence, TMJTJR improves the emotional state of patients.

[PMID: 37483714 PMCID: PMC10362184 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to predict the envelope surfaces from facial morphology. Condylar envelope surfaces for 34 healthy adults were formed and simplified as sagittal section curves. Cephalometric and maximum mandibular moving distances measurement were performed on the participants. There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.763) between the left and right maximum lateral movements. There was a statistically significant difference in the mandibular body length between the sexes. The envelope surfaces were divided into type 1 with Hp2 ≥ 1/3 Hp1 and type 2 with Hp2 < 1/3 × Hp1. SNA and SNB for type 2 were significantly greater than those for type 1 (p < 0.001). Therefore, the participants were divided into four groups based on gender and envelope surface morphology. The curves could be fitted using the second-order Fourier function (R-square ≥0.95). Six facial parameters were selected and a matrix was used to map facial morphology to the envelope surface. Individual sagittal curves were predicted using the matrix and facial parameters, and the envelope surface was predicted using the curve and the condyle model. Deviation analysis for the predicted envelope surface using the actual envelope as a reference was carried out (root mean square = 0.9970 mm ± 0.2918 mm). This method may lay a foundation for the geometric design of artificial fossa components of temporomandibular joint replacement systems. It may improve prosthesis design without flexible tissue repair and guide the movement of the artificial joint head.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bibliometric analyses provide information on the effectiveness, performance, trends, and various other characteristics of research by using mathematical and statistical analysis methods for data related to scientific publications. This study aims to determine the focus of studies in the field of orthognathic surgery, map it, and present the results in a simplified manner through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. METHODS In this bibliometric analysis study, orthognathic surgery publications from 1980 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The independent variables were co-citations, while the outcome variables included cross-country collaboration analysis, keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and cluster analysis of the co-citation network. Covariates were the number of publications, number of citations, year range, centrality value, and silhouette value. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-Studio software. RESULTS A total of 7,135 publications and 75,822 references were included in the analysis, and the annual growth rate of publications was 9.52%. The co-citation clustering analysis revealed that the orthognathic surgery literature was organized into 16 subject headings. Patient satisfaction was found to be the most widely published topic. The youngest clusters, representing new topics in the field, were virtual planning and examination of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSION Bibliometric analysis methods were used to evaluate the 40-year history of the orthognathic surgery literature. The analysis identified the most influential publications, the topics in which the literature is divided, and hot spots in the field. By conducting similar bibliometric research studies in the future, the progress and future direction of the literature can be monitored based on evidence.

[PMID: 36152971 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this work is to perform a bibliometric analysis on Middle Eastern oral and maxillofacial surgery through years and to compare the data with previous studies. A list of the top 100 most cited articles was generated. METHODS A Pubmed bibliographic search for literature journals specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the Middle East was performed. A graphic representation of authorship and keywords was created with VOSviewer. Mendeley and Microsoft Excel were used for tabulation and data visualization. A list of the top 100 most cited articles was created using Web of Science. Some statistical tests were performed with a 95% confidence interval, which was considered significant. RESULTS A total of 6,536 articles were retrieved in fifteen selected oral and maxillofacial journals. A moderate correlation between number of publications and total population (R = 0.6052), low correlation with area (R = 0.302291), and a negligible correlation with the Human Development Index (HDI) were found (R = 0.1747). A disparity can be seen in the number of publications by country, leaded by Turkey (46.30%), Israel and Iran (13.68% each). The more common studied topic was oral surgery (25.77%), maxillofacial trauma (16.13%) and oral pathology (10.25%). CONCLUSIONS A useful list of the top 100 most cited articles on oral and maxillofacial surgery from Middle East has been created. Middle East publications on oral and maxillofacial surgery can be considered high quality (IF = 1.879). Some issues on performing an adequate selecting of MeSH keywords were discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform a bibliometric analysis on silicate-based biomaterials in endodontics; to elucidate the evolution and distribution of scientific production regarding research on these biomaterials, the authors and institutions involved, and the most used descriptors/keywords in this field. MATERIALS AND METHODS A general advanced broad search was performed in Web of Science Core Collection, using the terms "Silicate" and "Endod*." By means of the "Analyze Results" and "Citation Analysis" tools from Web of Science, bibliometric data were extracted. Bibliometric networks on co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence were illustrated using VOSviewer software tool. RESULTS Research in the field of silicate-based endodontic materials in endodontics has followed an exponential crescent tendency over the period between 1995 and 2020. Two major co-authorship networks lead the research production in the field, headed by Gandolfi MG and Prati C, and Rodríguez-Lozano FJ and Forner L; respectively. "Mineral trioxide aggregate," "MTA", "Biocompatibility," "Biodentine," and "In vitro" were the terms with the highest occurrence. The modal study type in this research area are laboratory studies, representing 77.7% of the total number of records. The relationship between keywords illustrates the recent tendency to assess biological properties of MTA and Biodentine, which could be extrapolated to other silicate-based materials. CONCLUSIONS The results from the present study highlight the exponential increase and distribution of scientific production on silicate-based materials in endodontics, along with the modal keywords used as descriptors and the major authorship networks involved. The predominance of laboratory studies in this research field reinforces the need for clinical studies, to extrapolate the reported performance and characteristics of silicate-based materials into the clinical setting. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The present study may aid the clinician's continuing education and evidence-based practice by providing knowledge and facilitating the literature search on the field of silicate-based biomaterials in endodontics.

Abstract
Medical device embodiment involves the following elements: materials, design, and manufacturing. Failure of any one of these elements can result in failure of the device, despite the others being satisfactory. The abundance of clinical and basic science literature published since 1986, demonstrates the safety and efficacy of alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR). Currently, there are 19 countries producing 41 TMJR devices. More than 75% are custom designed, and 27% are additively manufactured. In light of the increasing number of TMJR devices being designed and manufactured around the world, this paper will discuss TMJR embodiment so that clinicians understand their present status as well as the prospects for the future of new and/or improved TMJR devices, to ensure that these devices continue to be safe and effective long-term surgical options for the management of end-stage TMJ pathologies.

Abstract
Bibliometric and visualization tools are effective for uncovering information contained in vast amounts of literature data. We retrieved publications from the Web of Science (2008-2020) and used the Statistical Analysis Toolkit for Informetrics (SATI) and CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of emergy studies, review the focus of the studies, summarize current research, and identify academic trends. The SATI-based charts provided an overall description of yearly published articles, literature sources, high-frequency keywords, authors, institutions, and highly cited papers. CiteSpace was applied to determine the frontiers and hotspots of emergy theory. A dual-map analysis was used to reveal the connection between multiple disciplines. Keyword clustering analysis was performed to evaluate research hotspots. Moreover, burst analysis and timeline maps presented a holistic picture of cutting-edge issues and the evolutionary trajectory of emergy studies in recent years. An alluvial flow map analysis of the landmark literature depicted the transmission of knowledge in the emergy field. In addition, this article also evaluated the current status of collaborative research in emergy-related fields. The results can provide a reference for researchers to explore hot issues or target a specific field of study.
