Abstract
Aim: To characterize the Colombian journals of dentistry indexed in the second update of Publindex 2014 from the bibliometric point of view, to describe the tendencies of the publications in the thematic areas of dentistry.
 Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional documentary study that carried out a bibliometric analysis of the scientific articles published in seven dental journals (Revista de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Antioquia, CES Odontología, Universitas Odontologica, Revista Nacional de Odontología, Acta Odontológica Colombiana, Revista Odontos Odontologia Integral y Revista Colombiana de Investigación en Odontología) recognized and categorized in the second update of Publindex 2014.
 Results: A total of 1587 publications (of which 62% were original articles derived from research) were identified in a A2 category (360), two in B category (636) and four in C category (332).
 Conclusions: The bibliometric analysis of the eight journals evidences that the Revista de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Antioquia and the Revista CES Odontología, being the oldest, are the journals that have best adapted to Publindex guidelines, the only journals included in SciELO and the two journals with the highest index h5 –five and seven respectively– of Google Scholar.
