Introduction: bibliometric studies are tools allowing analysis of the scientific production of institutions.
Objective: characterize the bibliometric behavior of the scientific production at the School of Dentistry in the period 2011-2015.
Methods: a descriptive bibliometric study was conducted. The study universe was composed of 696 papers published in the study period and included in the corresponding databases. The variables analyzed were publications per year, publication type, topic dealt with, place of publication, teaching category of the first author and productivity per author.
Results: a total 696 scientific papers were published in the period, 44.2 % of which dealt with clinical pathology and 18.5 % with teaching. 64.5 % were original papers, 17.5 % were bibliographic reviews, 9.3 % were case reports, 1.2 % were bibliographic sketches and 1.2 % were editorials. 53.4 % of the first authors were Associate Professors. 52.4 % of the papers had been published in scientific journals. Ten professors were the most productive with 101 papers, for 18.0 % of the total number.
Conclusions: scientific production has remained at a similar level for years. More than half the papers were published in peer-reviewed journals. There was a prevalence of clinical pathology and teaching subjects. Most of the papers were original. A predominance was found of first authors with the category of Assistant Professor. The most productive professors at the school published almost one fifth of all the papers.
