ABSTRACT

Objective: The objective of this study was to quantitatively explore the CTS publication network in dentists and other dental professions using Bibliometric analysis on the Scopus database. Methods: Data mining on May 28, 2024, obtained 186 documents. The Boolean expressions used: “carpal tunnel syndrome” OR “carpal tunnel” AND dentist* OR dental* OR periodon* OR orthodont* OR prosthodon* OR “oral surgeon”. Results: The United States is the largest contributing country and received the highest citations. Journal of Dental Hygiene and Journal of the American Dental Association were the journals with the most documents. However, a conference paper published by JAMA had the top citation. Conclusion: Based on this bibliometric analysis, documents on CTS in dentists are still very few compared to CTS documents from various aspects.
