The objective of this short communication was to provide an evidence-informed overview of the role of oral surgery journals in evidence-based oral care through a preliminary search of PubMed database.There were four studies analyzing oral surgery journals; one on publication bias of controlled trials, one on ethical issues in instructions to authors, one on study designs, and one on reporting of photographs in controlled trials. The journals analyzed for their role in evidence-based oral care were International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
