Objective: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is the most common subtype of temporomandibular disorders. This study aims to analyze the research productivity of articles on temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis published in journals indexed by the Web of Science, using a bibliometric analysis method.
Material and Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database on June 9, 2024. A total of 1883 documents were identified in the search for TMJOA. Finally, after applying exclusion criteria, 1558 publications were included in this study. The data were transferred to VOSviewer software for further analysis.
Results: It is seen that the USA and China are at the forefront among the countries that publish the most documents and whose documents are cited. It has been determined that Q1 journals are at the forefront in terms of citations and are predominantly dentistry-based journals. The dominance of the USA and China in the rankings regarding authors and affiliation is also noticeable. The most frequently seen keywords in TMJOA studies are recorded as Disorders, Cartilage, Expression, Pain, Internal Derangement, Articular-Cartilage, Temporomandibular Disorders, Chondrocytes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Synovial Fluid, respectively.
Conclusion: There is no study using the bibliometric analysis method on TMJOA. We analyzed the research productivity of articles on TMJOA published in journals indexed by Web of Science using the bibliometric analysis method via VOSviewer. We think that this analysis will be helpful to researchers, institutions, and organizations working on this subject in the future.

Amaç: Temporomandibular eklem osteoartriti (TMEOA), temporomandibular bozuklukların en yaygın alt tipi olarak gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Web of Science tarafından indekslenen dergilerde yayınlanan temporomandibular eklem osteoartriti makalelerinin araştırma verimliliğini bibliyometrik analiz yöntemini kullanarak analiz etmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 9 Haziran 2024'te Web of Science Core Collection veri tabanında sistematik arama yapıldı. TMEOA aramasında toplam 1883 döküman belirlendi. Son olarak, dışlama kriterlerinden sonra, bu çalışmaya 1558 yayın dahil edildi. Veriler, daha ileri analizlerde kullanılmak üzere VOSviewer yazılım programına aktarıldı.
Bulgular: En fazla çalışma yayınlayan ve çalışmalarına atıf yapılan ülkeler arasında Amerika ve Çin'in ön planda olduğu görülmektedir. Atıf sayısında Q1 dergilerinin ön planda olduğu ve çoğunlukla diş hekimliği tabanlı dergiler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yazarlar ve kurumlar açısından sıralamalarda da Amerika ve Çin'in baskınlığı dikkat çekicidir. TMEOA çalışmalarında en sık görülen anahtar kelimeler sırasıyla “Disorders”, “Cartilage”, “Expression”, “Pain”, “Internal Derangement”, “Articular-Cartilage”, “Temporomandibular Disorders”, “Chondrocyts”, “Rheumatoid Arthritis”, “Synovial Fluid” olarak kaydedilmiştir.
Sonuç: TMEOA üzerine bibliyometrik analiz yöntemini kullanan bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Web of Science tarafından indekslenen dergilerde yayınlanan TMEOA üzerine makalelerin araştırma verimliliğini VOSviewer aracılığıyla bibliyometrik analiz yöntemini kullanarak analiz ettik. Bu analizin gelecekte bu konu üzerinde çalışan araştırmacılara, kurum ve kuruluşlara yardımcı olacağını düşünüyoruz.
