“…Patients often experience varying degrees of facial beauty damage, pronunciation dysfunction, periodontal tissue changes, decreased chewing function, and may even cause temporomandibular joint lesions, posing a huge threat to the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients. [ 16 , 21 ] Although simple restorative treatment can improve the patient’s oral occlusal status to a certain extent, owing to the presence of dental deformities, it is difficult to make suitable restorations. Even if they can be made, patients are prone to postoperative problems such as asymmetry.…”

Background: To explore the effects of a combined orthodontic and restorative approach on chewing, swallowing, and language function in patients with malocclusion and dental defects. Methods: A total of 112 patients with malocclusion and dentition defects admitted to the Lianyungang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to June 2022 were prospectively selected. The patients were divided into study and control groups using a simple random number table method, with 56 patients in each group. The control group received routine restoration, whereas the study group received a combination of orthodontic and restorative treatments. The chewing function, swallowing and language function, and gingival periodontal condition before and after treatment in both groups were compared using t-test or Wilcoxon test, while treatment satisfaction were compared using chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results: After treatment, maximum area frame bite force/max movie force in both groups increased compared to before treatment, while occlusion time, bite force distrbution balance, and standard deviation hue decreased compared to before treatment. Moreover, maximum area frame bite force/max movie force in the study group was higher than that in the control group, whereas occlusion time, bite force distrbution balance, and standard deviation hue were lower than those in the control group (P < .05). The swallowing and language function scores of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P < .05). After treatment, the bleeding index, plaque index, and probing depth of both groups decreased compared to before treatment, and the study group was lower than the control group (P < .05). The treatment satisfaction of the study group (94.64%) was higher than that of the control group (82.14%) (P < .05). Conclusion: Adopting a combined orthodontic and restorative approach to intervene in patients with malocclusion and dentition defects is beneficial for improving their periodontal condition, effectively restoring chewing, swallowing, and language functions, and achieving high patient satisfaction.

“…Quadrant II holds the most current keywords but with lower research frequency, signifying emerging trends: "Dental Pulp Stem Cells," "Dental Pulp," "Photodynamic Therapy," "Diode laser," "Caries detection," "Stem cells," and "Periodontology." Additional concepts encompass "Orthodontics," where authors have evaluated the outcomes of periodontal laser therapy in controlling inflammation after orthodontic tooth movement, 64 and "Laser therapy," demonstrating that PBM via laser irradiation enhances bone integration. 65 Quadrant I houses the most frequent and current concepts, considered to be growing concepts and highly relevant within the scientific community.…”

Background Photobiomodulation (PBM) involves laser therapy utilized in medical sciences to modulate biological processes acting as a palliative and immune response-enhancing treatment. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore current trends in PBM-related scientific production, encompassing publications, citations, impact, keywords and clusters. Additionally, it aims to predict future research trends in this domain. Methods The data for this quantitative and qualitative bibliometric analysis were obtained from 608 scientific documents retrieved in November 2022, with 123 sourced from Web of Science and 485 from Scopus, Utilizing Excel, the data was processed in Excel to extract essencial information. Productivity and impact were evaluated for eligibility, and VOSviewer aided in determining associativity for the bibliometric analysis. Results The findings of this study demostrate that the scientific production related to PBM adheres to a growth power law, exhibiting characteristics of both exponential and linear phases. Notably, recent research trends emphasize critical concepts such as laser therapy, orthodontics, and dental pulp stem cells. Particularly significant is the burgeoning interest in utilizing PBM within dentistry as a complementary alternative to existing protocols. Conclusions PBM stands as a promising laser therapy within medical applications. Through a detailed bibliometric analysis, this study underscores the increasing significance of PBM, especially within the realm of dental treatments. These insights offer a glimpse into the evolving landscape of PBM research and provide valuable guidance for potential future directions of study.
