AB - Objectives: This study was conducted to understand the research trends in dental hygiene, domestically and internationally. Methods: The Journal of the Korean Society of Dental Hygiene (JKSDH) examined 1,689 articles, totaling 7,575 words, whereas the International Journal of Dental Hygiene (IJDH) reviewed 1,089 articles, totaling 10,194 words, employing a semantic network and CONCOR analysis. Results: Findings indicated that centrality analysis revealed that the top 10 most frequently used words in journals exhibited high scores in degree, betweenness, and closeness centralities. CONCOR analysis identified four clusters within the JKSDH; ‘oral health program’, ‘professionalism of dental hygienists’, ‘oral health assessment’ and ‘dental hygienist work environment’. The four categories of IJDH were ‘managing periodontitis’, ‘managing systemic diseases’, ‘oral health assessment’ and ‘oral health prevention initiatives’. Conclusions: Future dental hygiene research in Korea should focus on evidence-based practices that can serve as a foundation for enhancing the professionalism of dental hygienists through a unique knowledge system in the field.
