%X The escalating global environmental crisis poses profound challenges to various sectors, including dentistry, where environmental risks intersect with oral health outcomes and professional practices. This conceptual paper proposes a novel theoretical framework for reconstructing narratives surrounding global environmental risks within scientific dental literature through large-scale text mining. By integrating concepts from environmental sustainability, narrative theory, and computational linguistics, the framework elucidates how fragmented discourses on issues such as climate change impacts on oral health, dental waste pollution, and resource depletion can be systematically synthesized into coherent narratives. The introduction highlights the urgency of addressing environmental risks in dentistry, emphasizing their implications for public health and planetary well-being. The theoretical background synthesizes recent literature on environmental sustainability in dental practices and advances in text mining for narrative analysis. The proposed framework outlines a multi-layered approach involving semantic extraction, temporal mapping, and relational modeling to uncover evolving risk narratives. This work contributes to dental scholarship by offering a tool for reflexive analysis of the field's environmental discourse, fostering greater awareness and theoretical innovation without empirical validation. Ultimately, it advocates for a paradigm shift toward environmentally conscious dental research narratives.
