Abstract :Aim: This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of bruxism-related research published between 2005 and 2024. By evaluating publication trends, citation impact, key contributors, and keyword networks, the study seeks to provide insights into the intellectual structure of the field and highlight emerging research directions. Material and Method: Data for this bibliometric analysis were extracted from the Web of Science database. The inclusion criteria consisted of original research articles published in English between 2005 and January 2025. The search term ‘bruxism’ was used to identify relevant publications. VOSviewer software was employed for network mapping to examine collaborations among authors, institutions, and countries. Citation metrics, keyword frequency, and journal distribution were analyzed to assess the academic impact of bruxism research. Results: A total of 2,874 relevant articles were identified, demonstrating a significant increase in bruxism-related research over the last two decades. The United States, Brazil, and Japan emerged as leading contributors. Frank Lobbezoo was identified as the most prolific author, while the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation published the highest number of articles. Keyword analysis revealed that ‘bruxism, ‘sleep bruxism,’ and ‘temporomandibular disorders,’ were the most frequently studied topics. Conclusion: The growing volume of bruxism research highlights its significance across multiple disciplines, including dentistry, neurology, and sleep medicine. Future studies should focus on standardizing diagnostic criteria, exploring genetic predispositions, and leveraging technological innovations for improved clinical outcomes.
