Risk of bias in dentistry-related randomized controlled trials in spanish language journals

Objectives: To assess the risk of bias (RoB) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in dental journals in the Spanish language. Methods: A systematic retrospective survey was conducted of all RCTs published from 1980 to 2019 in dentistry Spanish and Latin American journals. We extracted data and performed RoB assessments using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results: 292 RCTs published in 51 journals were included. The best-rated domains were incomplete outcome data, selective reporting, and other biases. The domains assessed with higher proportions of an unclear or high risk of bias were sequence generation, allocation concealment, and blinding of outcome assessment. There is a low proportion of RCTs published in Spanish language journals. However, the number has been increasing over the years, and the low risk of bias assessment rates across domains show an increasing trend. Conclusions: A low percentage of Spanish-language dental journals issue RCTs. Our assessment of these RCTs' RoB suggests higher difficulties in the design and conduction phase than in the posterior reporting stage.

O presente estudo transversal objetivou identificar o perfil das dissertações, teses e publicações em periódicos do Programa de Pós-graduação Stricto Sensu em Odontologia da Universidade Luterana do Brasil (PPGOdonto/ULBRA). Realizou- se uma análise bibliométrica quantitativa e descritiva no período de 1997-2016. Os dados, coletados por meio de formulário específico, consistiram em ano de defesa, especialidade e delineamento do estudo. Realizou-se uma busca na Plataforma Lattes e base de dados PubMed a fim de verificar as publicações em periódicos decorrentes dos trabalhos defendidos; e as publicações foram classificadas de acordo com os critérios Qualis. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Foram identificadas 284 dissertações de mestrado e 50 teses de doutorado defendidas no referido período. As áreas de Endodontia, Dentística e Prótese Dentária foram as especialidades com o maior número de defesas. Do total de dissertações e teses analisadas, 62% geraram publicações científicas, sendo 41% em periódicos de estratos Qualis A1 e A2, especialmente nas áreas de Endodontia, Periodontia e Odontopediatria. Em relação à metodologia utilizada nos estudos, 43,7% utilizaram delineamento experimental in vitro, seguido de estudos transversais (23,4%) e de estudos em modelo animal (11,1%). A autoavaliação dos programas de pós-graduação com foco na postura crítica em relação ao que está produzindo tem permitido a reorientação de linhas de pesquisa e da dinâmica de geração de conhecimento e inovações (AU).

At a university, the production, dissemination and socialization of knowledge are consolidated through research and the publication of results. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to identify the characteristics of dissertations, theses of the Stricto Sensu postgraduate program in dentistry of the Lutheran University of Brazil and subsequent publication in journals. For such, a descriptive, quantitative, bibliometric analysis was performed of the period from 1997 to 2016. The data were collected using a specific form addressing year of defense, specialty and study design. Searches were performed in the Lattes Platform and PubMed database to verify publications in journals of the articles stemming from the work defended. The publications were classified using the Qualis criteria and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 284 master's dissertations and 50 theses were defended in the period analyzed. The specialties with the largest number of defenses were endodontics, restorative dentistry and dental prosthetics. Among the total number of dissertations and theses analyzed, 62% generated scientific publications and 41% were published in journals with Qualis A1 and A2 ratings, especially those in the fields of endodontics, periodontics and pediatric dentistry. Regarding the methods, the largest portion used an in vitro experimental design (43.7%), followed by the cross-sectional design (23.4%) and studies involving animal models (11.1%). The self- evaluation of postgraduate programs with a focus on a critical stance with regards to what is being produced enables the reorientation of lines of research as well as the dynamics of knowledge generation and innovation (AU).

Can Internet Anxiety Affect Electronic Journals Usage? A Cross- Sectional Study with Iranian Postgraduate Dental Students

Objective: To investigate internet anxiety among the dentistry students at Kerman University of Medical Sciences and its relationship with electronic journals use. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all 72 postgraduate dental assistants at Dentistry School of Kerman University of Medical Sciences were considered. Internet anxiety questionnaire included demographic questions and questions measuring online journals use and the barriers of using. The data then analyzed using independent t-test and linear regression, with significance level set at 5%. Results: The use of printed books was reported by 78.2% of the sample while the use of electronic books was 45.8%. The use of atlas was 28.9%, while the use of indexes and abstracts was 57.2. The participants used online journals mostly for research (30.8%) and education (27.7%). The most important advantages of online journals were fast access (25.1%) and easy use (19.9%). To get informed about online journals contents, they mostly used search engines and online databases (79%). The most important criterion was indexing in Web of Science (20.8%). A significant relationship between Internet anxiety and academic year was detected (p<0.05) also increase in internet use significantly increased Internet anxiety (p=0.001). We suggested increasing the knowledge and skill of dental students with online resources toward decreasing the level of their Internet anxiety. Conclusion: A reverse relationship was observed between the academic year and internet anxiety, in other words, senior students were more anxious than the junior ones. This study did not ask about computer literacy, other studies have reported a negative relationship between computer literacy, Internet literacy and internet anxiety, so it is suggested to increase the knowledge and skill of students with computer, internet and online resources.

Guía para revisores sobre el manejo del Open Journal System de la Revista Cubana de Estomatología / A reviewer's guide for management of the Open Journal System in the Cuban Journal of Dentistry

El ejercicio de arbitraje en las revistas científicas consiste en una revisión crítica de artículos científicos que pretende la validación científica de su calidad con vistas a decidir su divulgación a nivel nacional e internacional, y así contribuir al campo de la ciencia que se trate. Los árbitros y editores de las revistas científicas, por consiguiente, despliegan una labor que requiere de preparación integral sistemática, responsabilidad, honestidad y alto grado de altruismo, entre otros valores. Por cuanto, tienen la responsabilidad de dictaminar de manera objetiva y educativa los artículos científicos que evalúan, lo cual generalmente se realiza posterior al cumplimiento de las obligaciones de su perfil ocupacional. El perfeccionamiento de la labor de arbitraje es clave para mejorar las prácticas y la elevación de la calidad de la revista, por lo que se decide confeccionar esta guía para adiestrar a revisores de la Revista Cubana de Estomatología en el manejo del Open Journal System durante proceso de revisión de artículos científicos(AU)

Peer reviewing scientific journals consists in a critical examination of papers seeking scientific validation of their quality for national and international dissemination, thus contributing to the development of the field of science in question. Therefore, the work of peer reviewers and editors in scientific journals requires systematic comprehensive training, responsibility, honesty and a high level of altruism, among other values, for they are in charge of passing objective and educational judgment on the papers evaluated, a task they often perform after fulfilling their occupational obligations. Perfecting peer reviewing is crucial to improve the performance of the journal and raise its quality. This is the reason why it was decided to develop the present guide to train reviewers of the Cuban Journal of Dentistry in the management of the Open Journal System during the process of scientific paper review(AU)

Mapeamento das revistas científicas nacionais e internacionais e suas produções na área da odontologia legal / Mapping of nationals and internationals scientific journals and productions in the area of Forensic Dentistry

Publicações periódicas de artigos científico-acadêmicos buscam a transferência de informação e construção do conhecimento de alta qualidade. A Odontologia Legal, apesar do amplo campo de atuação profissional, envolve vários temas referentes à legislação, bem como especificidades locais, questões essas que, muitas vezes, dificultam a publicação em revistas científicas com alto fator de impacto. Visto isso, o presente estudo objetivou mapear as revistas científicas nacionais e internacionais que apresentem publicações na área da Odontologia Legal, bem como expor as dificuldades existentes na publicação de trabalhos relacionados à área em revistas de maio relevância. Foi acessada a Plataforma Sucupira e selecionada a Odontologia como área de avaliação e, assim, obtido um arquivo de classificações. Todas as revistas que apresentaram temas relacionados à Odontologia Legal foram registradas em duas tabelas com a quantidade de artigos publicados relacionados à área em cada uma delas. Com bases nos critérios de busca, foram encontradas 191 revistas, sendo 75 nacionais e 116 internacionais. As publicações nacionais mostraram escassa produção em revistas com fator de alto impacto, enquanto que as internacionais apresentaram uma maior quantidade, apesar de ser minoria dentro da produção total. Com esse trabalho, foi possível comparar a classificação Qualis entre revistas nacionais e internacionais, destacando a distância entre tais classificações e expondo a dificuldade de publicação em revistas de alta competitividade e internacionalização.

Scientific papers look for the information transference and construction of high quality knowledge. Forensic Dentistry, although the wide field of professional activity, involves several themes related to Law that often makes it difficult to publish in international scientific journals. This study aimed to map the national and international scientific journals with publications in Forensic Dentistry, as well as to expose the difficulties to publish papers in high impact factor journals. It was accessed the Sucupira Platform (Brazil) and selected Dentistry as an evaluation area to get the classification file. All journals that presented issues related to Forensic Dentistry were recorded in two tables with the number of papers published related to the area in each of them. 191 journals were found, 75 national and 116 international. The national publications showed few productions in high impact factor journals, while the international ones presented a larger quantity, but still a minority within the total production. With this study, it was possible to compare the Qualis classification between national and international journals, highlighting the distance between such classifications and exposing the difficulty of publication in journals that present high competitiveness and internationality.

A saúde bucal na mídia impressa: análise das matérias jornalísticas nos anos de 2004-2009 / Oral health in the printed media: analysis of newspaper articles in the years 2004-2009

This study seeks to outline the main characteristics of the texts on oral health that appeared in the printed media in the State of Espírito Santo from 2004 to 2009, in order to analyze and compare the issues, approaches and journalistic relevance related to the theme prioritized in A Tribuna and A Gazeta newspapers. Exploratory documentary research was conducted, based on quantitative content analysis of the material, which established that the issues included ranged from information about oral health policies, community service and prevention of oral health diseases, to the "aesthetic tendencies" of the smile. It also covered the dissemination of new technologies and dental specialties and there was a predominance of even-numbered pages, fewer first page texts and full-page coverage. This implies a moderate appreciation of these issues, different editorial projects, plus the difference in target audience that determined the journalistic standard and the predominance of specialized sources. Despite the oral health articles not revealing journalistic "scoops", they can be reworked using conscious journalistic techniques, in order to elicit the extraordinary from the ordinary, giving rise to texts of social relevance in both newspapers.

Este estudo objetiva delinear as principais características das matérias sobre saúde bucal veiculadas na mídia impressa do Espírito Santo de 2004 a 2009, a fim de analisar e comparar os assuntos, as abordagens e a relevância jornalística relacionadas à temática priorizados pelos jornais A Tribuna e A Gazeta. Foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória documental, a partir da análise de conteúdo categorial quantitativa das matérias, a qual permitiu constatar que: os assuntos abordados compreenderam desde informações sobre políticas de saúde bucal, serviços prestados à comunidade e prevenção às doenças bucais, até as "tendências estéticas" do sorriso, a divulgação de novas tecnologias e de especialidades odontológicas; houve um predomínio de páginas pares, poucas chamadas na primeira página e a veiculação em página inteira, o que significa uma valorização moderada desses assuntos; os projetos editoriais distintos, aliados à diferença de público alvo determinaram o padrão jornalístico e houve o predomínio de fonte especialista. Apesar das matérias de saúde bucal não apresentarem "furos' jornalísticos, podem ser trabalhadas, através de uma prática jornalística consciente, de maneira a evocar o extraordinário do ordinário, dando origem a matérias com relevância social em ambos os periódicos.
