Abstract: Aims: To provide a snapshot of the scientific literature on 
orofacial pain. Metbods: The autbors identified 975 papers related to 
orofacial pain in the Current Contents Life Sciences and Clinical Medicine 
collections of the Thomson Scientific database that were published during 
2004 and 2005 and analyzed them using bibliometric indicators. Results: 
Among the 54 countries involved, the United States ranks first by number 
of papers (293), followed by Japan (107), and the United Kingdom (90). The 
high volume of research activity in some Northern European countries is 
high-lighted, along with that of the European Union (384 papers). The 
scientific literature on orofacial pain was published in 247 journals; 13 
of the top 15 most prolific journals for articles on orofacial pain were 
found in the Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine subdiscipline of Current 
Contents/Clinical Medicine, and the journal of Orofacial Pain was the 
highest ranked for such articles. Conclusion: This study complements 
subject reviews of orofacial pain research and provides a more complete 
picture of the research activity in this field.
