“…Additionally, a five‐point ordinal scale known as the Global Quality Scale (GQS), which is based on the accessibility of the material, its value to patients, and the calibre of the video, was used to evaluate the quality of the information offered by the included videos. Five questions make up the scale: very poor quality is denoted by one point, typically poor quality and limited use by two points, moderate quality by three points, acceptable quality by four points, and excellent quality by five points 12 (Data S2).…”

ObjectivesEven though tooth sensitivity is a prevalent dental issue today, more information is available to patients via social media concerning the subject. This study aimed to examine what patients may learn about tooth sensitivity from online videos on YouTube™ and evaluate the accuracy of the information given.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional investigation, two experienced periodontologists used the keyword ‘tooth sensitivity’ to conduct an organized search into YouTube videos containing knowledge regarding dentin hypersensitivity. Videos' type, origin, number of days since upload, duration, number of views, likes and dislikes, and comments were all noted; the viewing rate and interaction index were calculated. Videos were graded based on their content. The DISCERN and Global Quality Scales were used to rate each video's level of quality and reliability.ResultsAfter the initial 260 videos were examined, 199 were kept for additional study. Healthcare professionals, hospitals, and colleges posted the great majority of the videos. There was a significant positive relationship between the number of views and Total Content scores of the videos, the viewing rate, comments, and likes (p < 0.05). Significant relationships were obtained between total discernment, video type, source of upload, and global quality variables, and Total Content scores (p < 0.05).ConclusionsWhen looking for information on dentin hypersensitivity, patients might find watchable, reliable, and helpful videos on YouTube™.

“…The duration of the videos was found to be positively correlated with content level and usefulness score. 24,35 Topsakal et al 24 reported that the mean video duration on oral hygiene education for orthodontic patients was significantly superior in high-content YouTube™ videos than in low-content videos. Similar to the results, the video length was higher in the high-content videos, but that difference was not statistically significant (P = .131).…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the content, reliability and quality levels of YouTube™ videos regarding craniosynostosis for parents' information.MethodsA keyword search for ‘craniosynostosis’ was conducted on YouTube, and the uniform resource locators of the first 160 videos were initially recorded and evaluated. Ninety‐four videos that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. Each video received a score ranging from 0 to 9 points, classifying them as low‐content (0‐3), moderate‐content (4‐6) and high‐content (7‐9). The reliability scores adapted from DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS) scores were recorded.ResultsThe median content score for the videos was 4. According to the content scores, 34% of included videos (n = 32) were classified as low‐content, 60.6% (n = 57) as moderate‐content, and 5.3% (n = 5) as high‐content. The median reliability score for the videos was 3, and the median GQS score was 3. The reliability and quality levels of videos classified as high‐content and moderate‐content were significantly superior to low‐content videos (P < .05). Laypersons were identified as the most frequent source of information in the videos. However, most of the videos lacked information about syndromic/non‐syndromic forms and specific complications. The importance of early referral/timing of surgery and minimally invasive surgical treatment techniques was mentioned in all high‐content videos.ConclusionThe results of the present study suggest that YouTube™ in its current format, is not a fully trustable source for parents seeking information on craniosynostosis. Craniofacial units must increase the content, quality and reliability level of videos on craniosynostosis.

Objective: To evaluate the quality, source, usefulness and/or reliability, visibility, and popularity of YouTube™ videos on oral candidiasis. Materials and Methods:A YouTube™ search for "oral candidiasis" was performed, setting the English language. 133 of the 351 videos watched were included in the study.Two periodontologists scored the videos for visibility, popularity, quality, utility, and reliability. Videos' quality was evaluated using the DISCERN and the Global Quality Scale (GQS) tools, by categorizing them through quality assessment, source, duration, views, likes, and dislikes of each video were noted.Results: 82.7% of the videos were moderately or very useful, and the GQS scores were mostly good (41.4%-Score 4) and excellent (42.1%-Score 5). Significant relationships were obtained between Source of Upload, Video Type, Total Discern, and GQS variables and Usefulness scores (p < 0.05). The 53.4% of the video sources were Healthcare professionals and their video usefulness scores were mostly "moderately useful" (47.9%) and "very useful" (%42.3). There was a significant positive correlation between the usefulness scores of the videos and the number of likes (p = 0.004), comments (p = 0.019), and the viewing rate (p = 0.006). Conclusions:The videos that rank high in searches for oral candidiasis on YouTube™ are mostly useful and comprehensive videos uploaded for educational purposes.
