The study selection and data extraction were conducted independently by 2 researchers. Guidelines were cross-checked against the 23-item Appraisal of Guidelines, Research, and Evaluation (AGREE). The results were then collected, and the overall adherence and adherence to each AGREE item and section were calculated. Regression analyses were performed considering journal characteristics, such as quartile, year, and publishing options in journals\u2019 guideline endorsement. There were no language restrictions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Twenty-one CPGs were included in this study. The mean overall AGREE adherence was 48.7%. The results showed considerable variability in the rates of compliance with the reporting guidelines. Three areas appear to have (much) higher levels of compliance than the others, notably \u201cClarity of Presentation\u201d (83.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.4%\u201391.8%), \u201cScope and Purpose\u201d (74.0%, 95% CI: 67.1%\u201380.9%), and \u201cStakeholder Involvement\u201d (54.5%, 95% CI: 43.4%\u201365.7%). The lowest level of agreement was found in \u201cApplicability,\u201d with a level of agreement of 18.5% (95% CI: 11.4%\u201325.6%). Four of the 6 domains had a complete lack (0.0%) of adherence. Journal quartiles were significant, as guidelines published in the second- (B = \u221227.3%; standard error [SE] = 6.1) and third-quartile (B= \u221222.8%; SE = 10.6) impact factor journals displayed a lower overall adherence than those published in first-quartile journals. Guideline endorsement by journals was also a significant variable (B = \u221220.9%, SE = 5.9).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Reporting completeness in dental\/oral CPGs is suboptimal and is associated with the journal\u2019s quartile and guideline endorsement.
