Summary The purpose of this study was to examine the reporting quality of randomised controlled trials ( RCT s) published in prosthodontic and implantology journals. Thirty issues of nine journals in prosthodontics and implant dentistry were searched for RCT s, covering the years 2005–2012: The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, The International Journal of Prosthodontics, The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, Clinical Oral Implants Research, Clinical Implant Dentistry & Related Research, The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants, Implant Dentistry and Journal of Dentistry . The reporting quality was assessed using a modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials ( CONSORT ) statement checklist. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics followed by univariable and multivariable examination of statistical associations ( α = 0·05). A total of 147 RCT s were identified with a mean CONSORT score of 69·4 (s.d. = 9·7). Significant differences were found among journals with the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation achieving the highest score (80·6, s.d. = 5·5) followed by Clinical Oral Implants Research (73·7, s.d. = 8·3). Involvement of a statistician/methodologist was significantly associated with increased CONSORT scores. Overall, the reporting quality of RCT s in major prosthodontic and implantology journals requires improvement. This is of paramount importance considering that optimal reporting of RCT s is an important prerequisite for clinical decision‐making.
