Aim:
The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to analyze the top 100 most-cited articles on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in children and to identify the most-cited authors, journals, institutions, and countries.
Materials And Methods:
The publication search was performed using The Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection in May 2023. The terms "TMD" and "Children" were used in the search strategy. The time range considered extends from 1985 to the date of data extraction. No limitations were applied concerning language. For pertinent statistical computation, the finalized facts were transferred into the R environment (R package Bibliometrix version 3.1) and generated relevant graphics and collaborative network mapping. Word co-occurrence in 100 articles was visualized using VOSviewer software.
Results:
The 100 most influential manuscripts were published between 1991 and 2021. In the years considered, 6987 citations were included in the top 100 papers that were taken into consideration, with an annual mean citation of 215.63. Top contributors to the field were Sweden, the USA, and Brazil. The most-cited studies were produced by the US University of Washington (n = 11; 1158 citations), the Swedish University of Gothenburg (n = 10; 950 citations), and the Swedish University of Malmo (n = 9; 519 citations). List T was the most productive author (801 citations). The Journal of Oral Rehabilitation is the most cited among the 100 articles (801 times).
Conclusion:
To determine the important writers, nations, organizations, and journals in the subject of TMD in children, this study examined the top 100 cited articles in the field with the greatest number of citations. Additionally, the study's hotspots, prospective trends, and state of research were given in TMD in a growing population.

01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
