title: [Quality assessment of randomized controlled trials related to dental implant].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the quality of reporting by randomized controlled trial (RCT) related to dental implants in China during 2000 to 2012 by using the revised Jadad scale and consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT) (2010) statement.
  
  
  METHODS
  The following electronic databases were searched: Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, and EMBASE. A total of 19 journals of stomatology in China were also searched manually. The qualities of RCT with dental implant published between 2000 and 2012 were assessed using CONSORT (2010) statement and revised Jadad scale.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-eight RCTs related to dental implants were identified. The quality of reporting in 28 articles was low. The mean revised Jadad score was 1.29 ± 0.71 and the CONSORT (2010) score was 9.75 ± 3.60.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The methodological qualities of the included studies on dental implants are generally low, and reporting quality remain unsatisfactory.
