This cross-sectional study aimed at evaluating the abstracts of all articles published in the 'Jornal Brasileiro de Odontopediatria e Odontologia do Bebê' in order to collect data on the study design used, the most researched topics and the Brazilian states with the highest scientific production. Copies were made of the abstracts of each article, totaling 572 abstracts. Data categorization was done by two trained and independent reviewers. The results showed that the most used study design were case report (33%) and cross-sectional study (30%). On the other hand, there were only 2.5% of randomized clinical trials and no systematic review or meta-analysis. The most researched topics were cariology (15%) and restorative dentistry / dental materials (10%). The state with the greatest number of publications was São Paulo (40%), followed by Rio de Janeiro (17%). It was concluded that the majority of the articles published referred to studies with a low potential to establish scientific evidence, indicating a need for conducting research based on better quality methodology. Moreover, it was found that the assessed literature reflected the trends observed in the clinical practice of Pediatric Dentistry in Brazil.
这项横断面研究旨在评估发表在《巴西儿童口腔医学杂志》上的所有文章的摘要，以收集有关所使用的研究设计、研究最多的主题以及科学产出最高的巴西州的数据。复制了每篇文章的摘要，共计 572 份摘要。数据分类由两名经过培训且独立的评审员进行。结果表明，最常用的研究设计是病例报告（33%）和横断面研究（30%）。另一方面，仅有 2.5%的随机临床试验，没有系统评价或荟萃分析。研究最多的主题是龋病学（15%）和修复牙科/牙科材料（10%）。发表文章最多的州是圣保罗（40%），其次是里约热内卢（17%）。研究得出结论，大多数发表的文章都涉及潜在科学证据的研究，这表明需要进行基于更高质量方法的研究。此外，评估文献反映了巴西儿童牙科临床实践中观察到的趋势。
