ABSTRACT

The PUBMED and CNKI databases were used as big data sources to search for literature with the subject term or keyword “history of dentistry” in the databases. The annual number of articles, journals, authors and research topics of Chinese and foreign literature in the search results were analyzed to understand the development trend and research status of the history of dentistry in China and abroad. Through the study, we found that (1) the development peaks of the history of dentistry in China and abroad are staggered; (2) the disciplinary system of the history of dentistry in China is weak; (3) there are fewer research themes in the history of dentistry in China. These findings help us to understand the overall development trend of the history of dentistry, which leads to suggestions to accelerate the construction of a research talent team and expand the breadth and depth of research, in order to provide a reference for the future development of the discipline of the history of dentistry in China.
