Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate in-vitro titled studies in the field of orthodontics and aesthetic and conservative treatment published in TR Index journals. Materials and Methods: A systematic search of the TR Index database (https://trdizin.gov.tr/) was conducted, focusing on studies that utilized the keyword “in-vitro”. Inclusion criteria were limited to dental journal publications in English, Turkish, and other languages within the specified period. Data extraction and analysis included journal name, publication year, author institutions, departments, article type, article language, and citation count. Results: A total of 140 in-vitro titled studies were identified across various dental specialties. After excluding 83 studies that did not align with the scope of ‘orthodontics’ and ‘aesthetic and conservative treatment’, 57 studies were included in the final analysis. Of these, 9 studies were related to ‘orthodontics’, and 48 studies focused on ‘aesthetic and conservative treatment’. The journals with the highest number of in-vitro titled studies over the past three years were Turkiye Clinics Journal of Dental Sciences (13 studies), Cumhuriyet Dental Journal (8 studies), and Selcuk Dental Journal (8 studies). The language of publications, whether Turkish or English, did not significantly impact citation counts (p = 0.562). Conclusions: In-vitro research have a significant for providing critical insights into materials and treatments in both ‘orthodontics’ and ‘aesthetic and conservative treatment’. However, there is a need to increase orthodontic-related in-vitro studies. The findings suggest that the language of publication does not impact citation rates, indicating a broad acceptance of research across different languages.
