The 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics: A bibliometric study

Objectives:.

To identify and analyze the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics indexed in the Web of Science Category of “Dental, Oral Surgery and Medicine” from 1946 to 2016.

Materials and Methods:

On hundred articles were identified in a search of the database of the ISI Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports, applying the truncated search term “orthodon*.” Records were manually refined and normalized to unify terms and to remove typographical, transcription, and/or indexing errors.

The 100 most-cited articles were published between 1946 and 2012, with numbers of citations ranging from 115 to 881. Of the 251 authors participating, 87.65% published a single work, while three authors published four works. Most of the authors with several citations were from the United States, although the University of Oslo produced the highest number of frequently cited works. Most of the articles were clinical studies, and the most frequently cited topic was mini-implants. It was noted that self-citation could be a potential cause of bias in bibliometric analysis .

Conclusions:

This bibliometric citation analysis reveals new, useful, and interesting information about scientific progress in the field of orthodontics.

INTRODUCTION

Bibliometrics is defined as “the use of statistical methods in the analysis of a body of literature to reveal the historical development of subject fields and patterns of authorship, publication, and use.” 1 In the biomedical field, bibliometric studies are of great interest because they make it possible to gain an overview and to evaluate research and scientific activity by calculating bibliometric indicators, which provide information about the quantity of published research in a specific field. Commonly, the quality of articles is assessed by the number of times an article is cited in other publications. In addition, some indicators, such as the impact factor, the immediacy index, and lists of highly cited articles, can help one to assess the quality and popularity (within a field) of the journal that published the article. 2

Scientific production in dentistry 3 , 4 and, more specifically, in orthodontics has undergone a progressive increase due to the increasing demand for scientific knowledge regarding procedures and tools. This has been accompanied by a growing number of scientific journals specializing in orthodontics included in the category of “Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine” in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR; property of Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, Pa). Within the “Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine” JCR category, only three journals specialized in orthodontics in 2008, while in 2016, the number had risen to eight, almost triple the previous number.

Numerous bibliometric studies have been conducted in different areas of biomedical research to determine the characteristics of the most highly cited articles and to register information about authors, topics, and journals. 5 – 10 Several bibliometric studies have analyzed the top 100 most-cited articles in dentistry, endodontics, and implant dentistry. 7 – 9 Each of these articles analyzed citations, authors, countries, and institutions, following different methodologies and searching in different databases according to the field under investigation. In orthodontics, only one bibliometric study has been published, 10 but this only extracted data from three orthodontic journals and did not include bibliometric analysis, the lack of which could be a source of bias. 11 For this reason, the present study set out to identify and perform bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles in the field of orthodontics, indexed in the Web of Science Category of “Dental, Oral Surgery, and Medicine” from 1946 to 2016.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The most-cited articles in orthodontics were identified by conducting a database search in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science (property of Clarivate Analytics). The search term used was the truncated term “orthodon*,” entered in the topic field, with no restrictions regarding the year of publication. The types of retrieved documents were limited to original articles and reviews (article or review), discarding other texts, such as editorials, letters, proceedings, etc. The search was performed on October 16, 2017. The results were sorted according to the number of citations per article, and the first 150 works registered were selected and exported to a text file. This text file was imported into Microsoft Access to create a database. A manual review was then performed by two authors (BT and VPG). Whenever a disagreement arose, a third reviewer (AAA) made the definitive decision. Any articles not related to the field of orthodontics were discarded. After the manual review, only the top 100 most-cited articles were included, discarding the rest.

Subsequently, a manual edit of the Microsoft Access database was made in order to unify terms (authors, institutions) and to remove any typographic or indexing errors. First, author normalization was performed, and whenever it was not clear whether different authors shared the same name, their institutional affiliation was investigated. Similar criteria were applied to normalize institutional data; only macroinstitutions (universities, hospitals, etc) were registered, while departments, research units, etc, were eliminated. After the manual edit, the evaluators established the type (basic, clinical, or review) and the field of study. This analysis was based on information included in the abstract and, if necessary, the whole work.

The following variables were analyzed by two other authors (RLD and AVI): the journal in which the article was published, the year of publication, number of authors, organizations, country of origin, and topic. The abstract of each article was retrieved to manually check its pertinence. The type and field of study were determined according the method described by Fardi et al. 9

The 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics are shown in Table 1 , listed in order according to the total number of citations received and the number of citations per year. As shown in Figure 1 , the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics were published between 1946 and 2012, the first decade of the new millennium being the most productive (41 out of 100 articles). Table 2 shows the 21 scientific journals in which the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics were published.

The 21 Journals in Which the Top 100 Cited Articles Were Published (Orthodontic Journals Highlighted in Boldface) 1

The number of authors participating in the 100 most-cited articles was 251; only 31 were responsible for two or more articles ( Table 3 ). The authors of the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics worked in institutions in 22 different countries ( Table 4 ). The distribution of these countries by continent was as follows: 12 European countries, four American countries, four Asian, one African, and one Australian.

Categorization of Articles in Terms of Manuscript Type (Basic, Clinical, or Review) and Field of Study (27 Items)

When an article appears on the list of the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics, this supposes that the article has marked a milestone in the development of orthodontics. In theory, the quality of an article is reflected by its recognition by the scientific community and how it generated change in clinical practice, generated discussion, or triggered new directions in research. 9

The aims of this bibliometric study were to identify and analyze the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics indexed in the Web of Science Category of “Dental, Oral Surgery and Medicine” from 1946 to 2016. Bibliometric analysis is the only valid tool for this type of study, as it makes it possible to perform a reliable search in the Science Citation Index (SCI) database and include all potentially valid articles.

The only study 10 published to date to have analyzed the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics did not include adequate bibliometric analysis and may not have included all of the most-cited papers. The articles included in the earlier analysis were published in only three SCI dental journals. 11 Moreover, the study lacked a predefined search strategy, and its inclusion criteria were such that it may have omitted some articles. 10 The present study adopted a more thorough methodology, using the topic word “orthodon*” to search in the Web of Science and then ranking the articles by the number of citations and applying detailed criteria to the selection process, as recommended by other authors. 11 This bibliometric process was more laborious but may be considered more reliable.

The 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics were cited between 115 and 848 times each (a mean of 169.93); the most cited article was published in 1983. 12 Of the 100 articles, 18 were cited over 200 times, which indicates their high scientific impact. In addition to considering the total number of citations, calculating the number of citations per year also provided useful information, as older works obviously may have received more citations simply because they have been available longer. 12 When the articles were placed in order according to the number of citations per year, a different article from the one receiving the most citations appeared in first place, an article published in 2009. 13 The most-cited article overall received an average of 24.23 citations per year, while the latter received 31.66 citations per year. 13

Regarding the number of citations per article, these varied between 115 and 399 citations, with the exception of the most-cited article, which received 848 citations. These numbers were similar to the most-cited articles in other fields, such as periodontics, in which the most frequently cited works had between 100 and 346 citations. 14 However, in fields such as cardiology, the numbers of citations are eight or 10 times higher, ranging between 815 and 3932 citations. Such disciplines have higher numbers of scientific journals and more published articles, which may be an indicator of greater research activity in these fields. 5

The 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics were published between 1946 and 2012, with almost half (44 articles) published since the year 2000. The fact that more recent articles received more citations could also be related to the fact that the total number of articles has increased since the year 2000. The one other similar study only included articles published after 1975, which made it difficult to compare results with the present work, as the two studies covered different periods. In the present study, it was the publication dates of the articles themselves that defined the period analyzed, rather than a decision by the authors.

The 100 most-cited articles were published in a total of 21 scientific journals. Not all of the most-cited articles were published in journals specializing in orthodontics, some being published in journals dealing with other dental specialties, such as surgery, periodontics, or dental materials. This reflects the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of treatment involving orthodontics. The number of scientific journals publishing orthodontic research included in the category of “Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine” in the JCR (property of Clarivate Analytics) has almost tripled, from three in 2008 to eight in 2016. Nevertheless, the list compliled only included three journals specializing in orthodontics alone, which published 70 out of the 100 most-cited articles.

Most of the 251 authors who contributed to the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics (87.65%, 220 authors) were involved in a single article, 7.97% (7 authors) had two articles, 3.19% (8 authors) three articles, and, lastly, 1.2% (3 authors) had four articles. Regarding the latter three authors, T Takano-Yamamoto (Tohoku University, Japan) had the largest number of citations (881), with an article about screws for orthodontic anchorage; T Deguchi (Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio) had 648 citations, with two articles about orthodontic anchorage and one about dental movement; and BU Zachrisson (University of Oslo, Norway) received the third highest number of citations for three articles on different subjects.

The authors of the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics came from 22 different countries. Almost half of the most-cited articles (49) were by authors based in the United States, although in terms of the average numbers of citations per article, authors from the UK received the highest mean number per article (471.66 citations).

Forty-two institutions published two or more articles on the list. The University of Oslo (10), The Ohio State University (9), and the University of North Carolina (9) were the three with the most articles that appeared.

Most of the articles cited were clinical studies (69), 18 were systematic literature reviews, and the remaining 13 were of some other (basic) type. The most frequent field of study was microscrews (18 articles), followed by biological and biomechanical studies (15). The topics of the 100 most-cited articles in orthodontics changed over time. Articles from the 1940s (two articles) dealt with topics such as cephalometry and mixed dentition treatment. The 100 most-cited articles did not include any articles published during the 1950s. Then, during the 1960s (two articles) and 1970s (seven articles), the field of study shifted to topics such as adhesion, biomechanics and biology, cleft lip and/or palate, injuries/discomfort, and orthognathic surgery. During the 1980s (23 articles) and 1990s (22 articles), the field of study expanded to include new topics such as assessment indices, asymmetries, Class II treatment, demineralization, facial esthetics, friction, genetics, implants, maxillary canines, root resorption, and the stability of orthodontic treatment. In the first decade of the new millennium (41 articles), new topics appeared, such as corticotomies, new technologies, temporomandibular joint, transplanted teeth, and numerous articles involving implants. Since 2010, only three articles appeared on the list; their topics were root resorption, new technologies, and assessment indices.

This study had several limitations that should be noted. First, by using the truncated search term “orthodon*,” it is possible that some articles may have escaped attention. It was thought that if an article did not include this truncated term in the “Topic” field (Title, Abstract and Keywords), there was only the tiniest possibility that the subject of the article could be related to orthodontics. Additional general terms could have been used in order to increase the reliability of the search, but it is doubtful that this would have identified more articles. The search identified several articles that did not deal with topics related to orthodontics but which included the truncated term in the abstract; these were later discarded. Second, self-citation can be a cause of potential bias in bibliometrics. However, among these 100 articles, the self-citation rate was only 0.6%, which is much lower than the rate reported for articles in general medicine (5.97%). 5 This limitation has been noted by several authors, 15 generating some controversy as to whether counting self-citation is valid or not, as self-citation is an easy means of increasing a journal's “impact” factor. 16 , 17

CONCLUSIONS

  • This bibliometric citation analysis provided new, useful, and interesting information about scientific progress in the field of orthodontics.
  • The 100 most-cited articles were published in a total of 21 scientific journals.
  • Most of the articles cited were clinical studies, and the most frequent field of study was microscrews.

  • 3 Department of Dentistry, Universidad de Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain.
  • 4 Department of Oral Rehabilitation, Istituto Stomatologico Italiano, Milan, Italy.
  • PMID: 32449978
  • DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12396

Objective: To perform a bibliometric analysis on the top-cited articles over the last three decades from 1989 to 2018, using a longitudinal set-up, in order to analyse how articles' features have evolved over time.

Setting and sample population: A sample of 312 articles divided into three subgroups of 104 top-cited articles for each decade were included. The h-index value was used to determine the sample size.

Materials and methods: The articles were identified through a search in the category "dentistry oral surgery and medicine" of the Web of Science database. The information relative to the articles was collected. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the articles and the journals; selected parameters were analysed with the Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitney U test at the 0.05 level of significance.

Results: The top-cited articles were published mainly by orthodontic journals. Along the last two decades, the scientific contribution of Asian and South American countries rose significantly. The trending topics varied in each decade. Skeletal anchorage-related articles dominated the production of the decade 1999-2008 while new technologies as CBCT displayed a higher prevalence in the last decade, where new topics such as corticotomy-assisted orthodontics started to appear. The number of multi-authored articles increased while the articles from no university institutions decreased.

Conclusion: The publications in the three studied decades were significantly different in terms of numbers and characteristics. A longitudinal set-up allows to study the evolution of the scientific production and how the area of interest has developed over time.

Keywords: bibliometrics; citation analysis; orthodontics; top-cited.

Trending topics in orthodontic treatment practices in the past 5 years: A longitudinal study on case reports

list of thesis topics in orthodontics

How to cite this article: Ozturk T, Coban G. Trending topics in orthodontic treatment practices in the past 5 years: A longitudinal study on case reports. APOS Trends Orthod 2022;12:7-12.

Objectives:

This study aimed to analyze the case reports published in the past 5 years in orthodontic journals in the Web of Science (WOS) indexes and evaluate the trending topics.

Material and Methods:

Following a search conducted by entering the keyword “orthodontics” in the WOS Master Journal List search site, four journals in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and five journals in the Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI) were included in the study, and case report articles published in these journals between 2016 and 2020 were examined. The case reports were analyzed by examining each issue of each journal published during these years. In addition, frequently studied topics were examined under seven headings.

Only nine of the 16 journals in the list of related journals have published case reports in the past 5 years. The largest number of articles appeared in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics for the SCI group and International Orthodontics for the ESCI group. When the frequently examined topics were evaluated, it was determined that the highest number of articles was fixed orthodontic treatments (53.4%), orthognathic surgery (18.9%), multidisciplinary treatments (6.5%), and treatments for individuals with general health problems (6.5%).

Conclusion:

The number of case reports published has gradually increased in the past 5 years. The number of articles in the journals included in the SCI is higher. The subject variety of case reports is too great to be limited to a narrow field.

  • INTRODUCTION

Recently, many bibliometric studies of different journals and focused on different periods have aimed to investigate trends and topics in orthodontic research. [ 1 - 7 ] The parameters of these studies, the periods studied, and the research subjects vary considerably. However, these studies generally focus on the 2–3 most popular journals of orthodontics, have research-based parameters, and include few subject reviews. [ 3 , 5 , 7 - 10 ] Sometimes, only the most-cited studies [ 2 , 9 , 11 ] are taken into consideration and the others are ignored. Moreover, only a few of them mention a topic of general interest. [ 1 , 3 , 11 ]

Orthodontic research, which is usually presented as original research, explores various diagnostic methods, presents new and usable treatment mechanisms, and provides academic information on fundamental issues such as research on retention-relapse. [ 1 ] However, it is not feasible for these academic data to be interpreted by all interested parties and read by clinicians in a narrow time frame. [ 12 ] However, publications in the form of case reports presented in fewer numbers than these original studies are easier to understand and can be interpreted by both clinicians and academic researchers; thus, in some cases, they may contribute more. [ 13 ]

Many studies have aimed to determine the topics of interest in the field of orthodontics by examining research articles. [ 3 , 6 , 8 , 9 ] Some studies have mentioned the diversity of articles published in journals. [ 1 , 4 , 6 ] However, to the best of our knowledge, none have mentioned the contents of case reports, which clinicians tend to prefer and sometimes see as inextricable. In this study, we aimed to examine the case report publication trends and numbers in the main orthodontic journals in the Web of Science (WOS) database in the past 5 years, determine the subjects and treatment types examined in these reports, and evaluate the cases that were most commonly examined.

  • MATERIAL AND METHODS

In this study, case reports were published in the past 5 years in journals related to orthodontics that are in the WOS database (https://www.webofknowledge.com) and scanned in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI) were evaluated. To identify journals to include in the study, a search was conducted by typing the words “Orthodontics” and “Orthodontist” on the Master Journal List webpage (https://mjl.clarivate.com/ home) in the Clarivate database [ Figure 1 ], and the web pages of all results were examined and evaluated. It was determined that case reports were published in nine journals that were published on orthodontics [ Table 1 ]. Four of these journals ( American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, The Angle Orthodontist, The Korean Journal of Orthodontics , and Australasian Orthodontic Journal ) were indexed in the SCI and five ( Turkish Journal of Orthodontics, International Orthodontics, APOS Trends in Orthodontics, Journal of Orthodontics , and Orthodontic Waves ) were indexed in the ESCI [ Table 1 ].

The obtained data were saved in Microsoft Excel software (Microsoft Office 365, USA). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (Ver. 24.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to analyze the data, and Microsoft Excel was used to prepare the graphics. The data from the case reports published in these journals are reported as counts and percentages.

In the past 5 years, a total of 339 case reports have been published in the reviewed journals [ Table 1 ]. Among these, it was determined that the most frequent case report of the journal was published as AJODO (35.4%) in the SCI group and INTORTHO (12.7%) in the ESCI group. The number of published case reports was higher in 2019 (25.4%) and 2020 (22.4%) than in the other 3 years studied [ Table 1 ]. The case reports were examined and divided into seven subgroups [ Table 2 ]: Cleft lip-palate, maxillary expansion, functional orthopedics, treatments in patients with problems in general health, multidisciplinary treatments (except maxillofacial surgery), orthognathic surgery, and fixed orthodontic treatments. Among these, the most frequently examined subjects were fixed orthodontic treatment (53.4%) and orthognathic surgery (18.9%), while the least studied subject was functional orthopedics [ Table 2 ].

Detailed data on the subjects examined under the main subject headings are presented in [ Figures 2 - 4 ]. It was found that the most common subjects examined were “adult” treatments (63.0%) in the CLP group, “the miniscrew-supported” treatments (58.0%) in the maxillary expansion group, and treatments related to “Noonan syndrome” (27.0%) and idiopathic osteoarthritis (18.0%) in the “Treatments in patients with problems in general health” group [ Figure 2 ]. Regarding orthognathic surgery, “Skeletal Class III” (33.0%), “Pre-surgical orthodontics” (12.0%), and “Skeletal Class II” (11.0%) treatments were examined most frequently [ Figure 3 ]. The cases published on fixed orthodontic treatments are divided into 32 subheadings based on the relevant subject [ Figure 4 ]. Among these, “Non-surgical open bite” (14.0%) and “Camouflage of Class III malocclusion” (9.0%) were the most common topics.

This study aimed to analyze the case reports published in the past 5 years (2016–2020) in nine orthodontic journals in the WOS Master Journal List. Although orthodontic journals have been examined in previous bibliometric studies, to the best of our knowledge, the case reports and the types of cases and treatments examined in such articles have not yet been examined.

It was found that only nine of the 16 journals on the Master Journal List page in the WOS index had published an article in the form of a case report in the past 5 years. In the other seven journals, no case reports were identified among the articles published in the past 5 years. In addition, each issue published between 2016 and 2020 in the journals examined in the study was analyzed and reviewed, and all of the cases reports published in these issues were read from beginning to end. All other manuscripts were excluded, except for the case report form that was reviewed.

In the previous studies on articles in the orthodontic literature, [ 1 - 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 - 11 ] the articles in the research area were examined in a general manner. In many of the previous studies, [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 11 , 14 , 15 ] the articles published in AJODO were examined and it was reported that the number of publications in the form of research articles, reviews, meta-analyses, and especially case reports was higher in this journal than in other journals, in line with the results of this study. For example, Prasanna et al . reviewed orthodontic research publications from the past 5 years in the three most popular orthodontic journals, and the articles in all three journals were examined under seven subtitles. [ 3 ] It was reported that the subjects related to fixed orthodontics were examined more frequently in the research articles in AJODO and AO. Similarly, in this study, it was determined that case reports related to fixed orthodontics were examined more frequently than the other subjects. As in our study, six orthodontic journals scanned in the WOS index were examined bibliometrically in the study by Bilgic et al . [ 14 ] However, only the journals in the SCI were included in the cited study; the journals in the ESCI were not examined. In addition, the topics and research trends examined were not included in the study. In the study by Martin et al ., research in the field of orthodontics in the past 30 years was examined. [ 16 ] The topics were examined under 48 titles according to the number of citations they received. Although many subjects were examined in this study, no information about patients with general health problems or the treatments applied to them was provided. However, similar to our study, it was stated that subjects related to orthognathic surgery, impacted canine teeth, Class II and Class III malocclusions, and open bite treatments have been studied more often in recent years. In the study by Aura-Tormos et al ., the trends in the past 10 years of orthodontic articles in Journal Citations Reports were examined. [ 1 ] They stated that there were more case reports in the orthodontic journals examined in this study, especially in the journals AJODO, AO, KJO, and AOJ than in other journals. This is consistent with the findings of this study. In addition, our findings are consistent with the subjects examined in the study by Aura-Tormos et al . [ 1 ] These findings suggest that the topics in our study may be trending topics. In addition to all this, AJODO aims to contribute more to the literature of orthodontic with the online publication of a new journal called “AJO-DO Clinical Companion” that will emphasize case reports with long-term results or patient recall for long-term records. [ 17 ]

To the best of our knowledge, before this study, the general health problems to which orthodontic treatment is applied had not yet been analyzed in the literature. In addition, in this study, we report which types of orthognathic surgery have been examined. It was determined that skeletal Class II and Class III treatments were the most frequently examined subjects and pre-surgical orthodontic treatments. The findings of our study show that the number of case reports on orthodontic treatment approaches in adulthood is higher in patients with CLP. This finding is consistent with the literature discussed in the article by Cash [ 18 ] who found that patients with CLP who did not want treatment during childhood and adolescence demanded treatment in adulthood. It has been found that most case reports on maxillary expansion describe miniscrew-assisted maxillary expansion device designs. This finding may suggest that miniscrew-assisted applications are preferable to conventional maxillary expansion applications [ 19 ] due to their advantages, such as being able to be used in the late period without requiring surgical assistance, having a greater skeletal effect, and reducing dental side effects.

  • Limitations

In addition to the WOS database, the Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and Journal Citation Reports databases also provide bibliometric information about published articles. [ 20 ] In this study, the journals in only one database were examined; this is a limitation. However, this database was used because other databases usually give a ranking and analysis of the articles, and the WOS index is more acceptable in the international arena. [ 20 , 21 ]

The number of case reports published has gradually increased in the past 5 years.

Among the journals examined, the largest number of case reports was published in AJODO.

It was found that the notable topics investigated were CLP, maxillary expansion, orthognathic surgery, and disease diversity in individuals with general health problems.

Although there are limitations to this study, it can provide suggestions for future studies, as it is a first in this field to our knowledge.

We recommend conducting more subject-based studies in the future.
