Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct bibliometric analysis on orthognathic surgery in class III malocclusions, a frequently investigated topic in orthodontics. Methods: The study analyzed all articles in the Web of Science database from March 1987 to June 2023 using VOSviewer software (version 1.6.14). Initially, all 1173 articles were analyzed in the Web of Science browser and later exported for further analysis in the VOSviewer program. The VOSviewer program was utilized to map relationship networks based on co-authorship, co-occurrence, citation, bibliographic coupling, or co-citation links. Additionally, the study examined the distribution of publications by year, analyzed articles related to keywords, identified authors with the most publications on these topics, and compiled the 10 most cited articles containing the words \"orthognathic surgery\" and \"class III\" in the title, abstract, and keywords using the Web of Science browser. Results: The most publications on these topics were published in 2022. Seung-Hak Baek was the most cited author (413 citations). Chang Gung University ranked highest in terms of citations (729 citations) and had the most extensive publication record (60 articles) in the bibliometric network map. South Korea led in both article production (227 articles) and citation count (2587 citations). Conclusions: Orthognathic surgery for class III malocclusion has gained significant attention over the years due to technological advancements and increasing aesthetic concerns among patients. The interest in this field is expected to grow, leading to more studies exploring related applications and topics.Keywords : Orthognathic Surgery, Class III, Bibliometrics
