The purpose of this study was to assess the trends and evidence typology published in the journal Pediatric Dentistry over the last two decades (1999 to 2018). All articles from Pediatric Dentistry published between 1999 to 2018 were reviewed manually. Articles were assessed by topic, study design, level of evidence, source of funding, and country of origin. Letters to the editor, editorials, abstracts, short communications, practice guidelines, technical papers, and organization-related communications were excluded from the analysis. A total of 1,311 papers from Pediatric Dentistry were included for the final analysis. Across the 20 years, cariology (12.7 percent) was the most published topic, followed by restorative dentistry (10.6 percent) and systemic diseases (9.4 percent). The quality of evidence varied from level Ia (1.0 percent), level Ib (9.7 percent), level IIa (1.1 percent), level IIb (15.0 percent), level IIc (5.0 percent), and level III (50.1 percent). Forty-three different countries contributed to this publication history, with the USA, UK, and Brazil accounting for over half of the articles. There has been an increase in both the quantity and quality of evidence published in Pediatric Dentistry articles between 1999 and 2018 versus the previous three decades (1969 to 1998).
本研究的目的是评估《儿童牙科》杂志在过去二十年（1999年至2018年）发表的趋势和证据类型。对1999年至2018年期间《儿童牙科》发表的所有文章进行了人工审阅。文章根据主题、研究设计、证据水平、资金来源和原产国进行评估。分析排除了给编辑的信、社论、摘要、简短通讯、实践指南、技术论文和与组织相关的通讯。最终分析纳入了《儿童牙科》的1311篇论文。在这20年中，龋病学（12.7%）是发表最多的主题，其次是修复牙科（10.6%）和全身性疾病（9.4%）。证据质量从Ia级（1.0%）、Ib级（9.7%）、IIa级（1.1%）、IIb级（15.0%）、IIc级（5.0%）到III级（50.1%）不等。43个不同国家参与了这段出版历史，美国、英国和巴西的文章占比超过一半。与之前三十年（1969年至1998年）相比，1999年至2018年期间《儿童牙科》文章发表的证据数量和质量都有所增加。
