“…Despite the limitations of the present study, it is still interesting and paradoxical to note the private universities have almost 40% more research subjects than the traditional ones, but it does not mean a tangible impact on the scientific productivity 10 . By the way, the amount of articles a dentistry school publishes does not depend on the number of teaching hours per week their students have in research training, but we could foretell they are related.…”

“…It is essential to have professionals who are capable of formulating hypotheses which are clinically relevant, who guide health actions and not just implement medical services 10 . Development in biotechnology and biomedical sciences in general, along with the new advances in knowledge and dentistry technology has generated such amount of new knowledge that is virtually impossible to maintain the structure of the traditional curriculum (i.e., where education is based on teaching independent subjects).…”

“…Considering the number of dentistry careers taught in Chile has significantly increased and many of them incorporate the requirement of research work, it is curious to observe this increase is not reflected in a greater scientific productivity 10 .…”

“…Currently, there are more than thirty dentistry programs in charge of twenty institutions both traditional and private in Chile (The first ones are regulated by the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH)) 10 . Therefore, an average of 1,200 dentists graduates per year today.…”

Abstract:Research plays a central role in professional training in dentistry. There is a clear recommendation to include a minimum training in biomedical research at undergraduate level. In Chile, there is no standardized curriculum structure including research training for undergraduate students. Objective: To describe the presence of research courses in the undergraduate dental curriculum in Chile during 2014. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study. The curriculum for all Chilean universities teaching dental careers and updated during 2014 were analyzed. Results: The dental curriculum for twenty Chilean universities was analyzed. On average, each university has 4.05±2.06 research courses (semesterly) from which 1±0.92 are thesis courses. In the private universities, these numbers were 4.64±1.91 and 1.18±0.87 respectively. Meanwhile, these numbers were 3.33±2.12 and 0.78±0.97 respectively in the traditional universities. Sixty percent of universities have thesis or research project courses. Conclusion: There is a disparate presence of research courses in the undergraduate dental curriculum in Chile, with a higher presence in private institutions. However, this does not actualize a greater scientific production by them.

Existe una clara recomendación de incluir en el pregrado una cantidad mínima de formación en investigación biomédica. En Chile no existe una estructura curricular estandarizada que incluya investigación a alumnos de pregrado. Objetivo: Identificar la presencia de asignaturas de investigación en las mallas curriculares de las carreras de odontología dictadas en Chile para el año 2014. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, la unidad de análisis correspondió a las mallas curriculares de la carrera odontología, de todas las universidades dictantes en Chile y actualizadas al año 2014. Resultados: Se analizaron las mallas curriculares de las carreras de odontología de 20 universidades chilenas. En promedio cada universidad tiene 4,05±2,06 ramos (semestrales) de investigación y de los cuales 1±0,92 son ramos de tesis. En las universidades privadas estas cifras son 4,64±1,91 y 1,18±0,87 respectivamente, mientras que en las tradicionales fueron de 3,33±2,12 y 0,78±0,97 respectivamente. El 60% de las universidades tiene algún ramo de tesis o proyecto de investigación. Conclusión: Existe una dispar presencia de ramos de investigación en los programas curriculares de odontología en Chile, con una mayor presencia en instituciones privadas. Sin embargo, esto no se materializa en una mayor producción científica por parte de ellas.

“…This finding is relevant for promoting research-related activities or subjects in the academic curriculum across all dental schools. One study, published in 2012, reported that the scientific and research productivity is mainly provided by traditional universities, for example, the University of Chile and the University of Concepción 25 .…”

Objective To analyze a bibliometric profile of scientific production published in Acta Stomatologica Croatica (ASCRO). Material and methods Scientific papers published from March 2009 to December 2018 were analyzed. Information on the year of publication was collected by four trained examiners. Dentistry area, study type and design, data analysis method, presence of randomization, number of authors and corresponding author affiliation were investigated. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results A total of 328 articles were evaluated, with a predominance of research in the field of Dental Materials (16.5%), with original article being the most frequent (74.1%). Observational studies accounted for 52.4%, using inferential statistics (83.2%) and non-randomized experimental studies (66.1%). Cross-sectional studies were more common in areas of Behavioral, Epidemiologic & Health Services Research (86.3%), case reports in Craniofacial Biology (54.0%) and Oral Health Research (53.1%), while in vitro studies were more common in the areas of Dental Materials (90.7%), Microbiology / Immunology (70.0%) and Cariology Research (66.7%). Most articles were written by four authors (24.1%), while foreign affiliation was observed in 53.0% of studies. Conclusion The profile of ASCRO scientific production shows a predominance of original studies carried out in the areas of Dental Materials and Behavioral, Epidemiologic & Health Services Research, with growing participation of foreign researchers.
