Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The journal Dental Traumatology (DT) is one of the best resources in the field of dental traumatology. It has always encouraged publication of case reports of good quality. The CARE statement (2011) was developed for uniform and transparent reporting of cases in medical sciences. Since case reports are inseparable from the DT literature, the aim of this bibliometric-analysis was to evaluate the case reports published in the DT in the last two decades (2001-2021) and assess their compliance regarding CARE guidelines for elucidating the trends in DT and the reporting quality of these papers.
METHODS: Two authors independently observed the tables of contents in all issues of DT from 2002-2021 and identified case reports. Selected articles were scrutinized to determine their eligibility. Data extraction was performed, case reports were segregated into domains, and their CARE compliance was evaluated by using a self-designed-validated method. Differences between the case reports published in two decades (2002-2011 and 2012-2021) were analysed with the Chi-square test.
RESULTS: A total of 1612 articles published between February 2002 and October 2021 were scrutinized to identify 357 case reports with 277 from the period of 2002-2011 and 80 between 2012 and 2021. The highest number of case reports originated from Asia (2002-2011:135, 2012-2021:28). The CARE compliances of the majority of reports in the decade of 2002-2011 were between 75 and 85% (good) while the CARE compliances of the majority of reports from 2012-2021 were between 85 and 95% (very good) or >95% (excellent). These differences were statistically significant (p < .005).
CONCLUSIONS: The number of case reports published in the decade of 2002-2011 were more than three times the number of case reports published in the decade of 2012-2021. The highest number of reports in both decades were from Asia and belonged to the therapeutic and prognostic domains. The CARE compliances of the reports in the decade of 2012-2021 were better than those from 2002-2011.

摘要：
目的：牙科创伤学（DT）杂志是牙科创伤学领域最好的资源之一。它一直鼓励发表高质量的病例报告。CARE声明（2011年）是为统一和透明的医学病例报告而制定的。由于病例报告与DT文献密不可分，本文献计量分析的目的是评估过去20年(2001-2021年)在《DT》上发表的病例报告,并评估其在阐明DT趋势和这些论文报告质量的CARE指南方面的合规性.
方法：两位作者独立观察了2002-2021年所有数字孪生问题的目录，并确定了病例报告。对选定的文章进行了审查，以确定其资格。进行了数据提取，病例报告分为多个领域，并使用自行设计验证的方法评估其护理依从性。用卡方检验分析了二十年来（2002-2011年和2012-2021年）发布的病例报告之间的差异。
结果：对2002年2月至2021年10月期间发表的1612篇文章进行了审查，以确定357例病例报告，其中277例来自2002-2011年，80例来自2012-2021年。来自亚洲的病例报告数量最多（2002-2011：135，2012-2021：28）。2002-2011年十年中大多数报告的CARE合规性在75％至85％之间（良好），而2012-2021年大多数报告的CARE合规性在85％至95％之间（非常好）或>95％（优秀）。这些差异具有统计学意义(p<0.005)。
结论：2002-2011年十年中发布的病例报告数量是2012-2021年十年中发布的病例报告数量的三倍以上。在过去的几十年中，来自亚洲的报告数量最多，属于治疗和预后领域。2012-2021年十年期间，援外社执行报告的情况好于2002-2011年期间。
