The National Curricular Directives (DCN) for the Courses of Odontology, Resolution CNE/CES from March 2002 say that for the conclusion of the Graduate Course the student shall write a supervised final paper. In the Dental Course from the Bahian School of Medicine and Public Health (EBMSP), the Final Paper (FP) shall be written in the form of a scientific article, being possible to write an original article, a literature review or a case report. This study aimed to evaluate the profile of academic research in the Dental Course at EBMSP, through the analysis of all the FP that had presented in the period of 2007 (2nd term) to 2012 (1st term). The papers were classified in research, literature review, case report and regarding the area. Out of the 314 final papers, 114 (36.3%) were researches, 109 (34.7%) case reports and 91 (29%) were literature reviews. Prosthesis, stoma-tology, surgery, periodontology and dentistry were the areas that had been chosen the most. The studies were guided or co-guided by a professor with doctorate in 59.2% (186) of the cases. Out of the research studies 88 (72%) had the guidance of a doctor, but this number was reduced to 54 (49.5%) in case reports and 45 (49.5%) in reviews. It can be concluded that prosthesis, stomatology and surgery were among the most selected areas, in a global evaluation as well as when they were sub divided according to types of study. The adviser's title of doctor was a relevant factor in the production of researches.
