Communication of health information is considered a cornerstone for the success of any treatment. This includes patient education that is a relevant component of health care, and continuing education that is critical in professional development.It is the responsibility of healthcare professionals to provide patients with healthcare information in relation to their condition. Nevertheless, this role is changing nowadays with the increasing use of the Internet to seek health care-related information. The considerable penetration and the free accessibility of the Internet boost the patients' desires to be self-informed, at the expense of the face-to-face professional interview. 1-3 Increasing number of consumers are using social media to seek information and support for health-related issues. 4 It has been shown that 59% of US adults have looked online for health information in 2012. 5 This implies Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the quality of the scientific/clinical information in dentistry delivered by videos hosted by a popular video-sharing website. Methods: The gingival recession condition was used as a model and YouTube™ as the video hosting service. A systematic observation of videos containing information on gingival recession was conducted. Videos were analysed to evaluate (i) the scientific reliability and quality of the information using Global Quality Scale (GQS) and DISCREN criteria; and (ii) the understandability of this information using a tailormade custom comprehensiveness index (CI). Results: One hundred and eighty videos were identified. Videos dealing with surgical procedures were not included in the present review. After selection, 41 videos were analysed. The mean GQS was 2.34 on a 0-5 scale, and 25 (61%) videos showed clear aims according to DISCREN criteria. Misleading content was observed in eight videos (19.5%). The scientific sources of information were unclear in 26 (63.4%) videos. All videos failed to give additional references for supplemental information. Only three videos (7%) provided basic information on aetiology, clinical presentations and management of gingival recession. Based on 0-2 CI scores, three, nine and 29 videos had a score of 2, 1 and 0, respectively. Conclusion:The present model indicates that social media websites aiming to provide health information should be carefully accounted, especially when dealing with dentistry. It also suggests professional involvement to improve the quality of the delivered information. K E Y W O R D Seducation, gingival recession, health communication, information quality, video, YouTube

Background/Aims Traumatic dental injuries, including avulsion, are relatively common, with a reported prevalence of up to 4.5%. The Internet and video‐sharing websites are frequently used as a resource for patient accessible health information. YouTube™, the online video leader, is a popular choice with patients, who decide to seek advice when managing an avulsed tooth. The aim of this study was to examine the quality of information offered by videos on YouTube™ for those individuals seeking information regarding the emergency management of an avulsed tooth. The quality of information was compared to the guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT). Methods YouTube™ was searched systematically for videos on avulsion using the terms ‘knocked tooth out’ and ‘dental avulsion’. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were adhered to, and videos were assessed on several variables. The usefulness of the selected videos in providing adequate information about avulsed teeth was then evaluated using a 9‐point score based on the IADT guidelines. Descriptive statistics were consequently generated. Results A total of 120 videos were analysed, 13% (n = 16) of which met the inclusion‐exclusion criteria. Most had been uploaded by healthcare professionals (81%, n = 13) in the United States (63%, n = 10). Videos had generally low completeness scores (mean: 4.375 ± 1.9; range: 2‐7). Completeness was not affected significantly, either by viewers’ interactions or by the date of upload. Conclusion YouTube™ generally hosts videos with low usefulness with regard to the management of avulsed teeth. Therefore, dentists should be aware of this resource and warn parents/carers regarding the reliability of information and the misleading content which is available on YouTube™ videos.

It is aimed to determine the utility, reliability and quality of the lid loading videos on YouTube, a video sharing platform. Methods:A YouTube searches were made with the keywords 'Eyelid Loading', 'Gold Weight Implantation', 'Lid Loading for Lagophthalmos' (without user login, cleared search history, in incognito tab). A total of 75 videos were recorded. Length of videos (seconds), number of views, uploaded source (doctor/health institution/medical channel), number of subscribers, number of likes, time since uploading (days), video content (surgical/theoretical information), type of narration (verbal narration/subtitle) recorded. DISCERN, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality scores of the videos were evaluated and recorded by two experienced oculoplastic surgeons (KSC, HT). Results:After the exclusion criteria, the remaining 46 videos were included in the study. The mean DISCERN score was 25.17 ± 6.88 (very poor quality), the JAMA score was 0.79 0.63 (very poor quality), GQS was 2.84 ±1.03 (medium quality). Thirty videos (65.2%) had verbal narration and 16 videos (34.8%) had subtitled narration. The DISCERN score and GQS were signi cantly higher in the videos with verbal narration compared to the narration with subtitles (p<0.05). All 3 scores were positively correlated with each other. There was also a positive correlation between video length, number of subscribers, and DISCERN score. Conclusions:The videos about lid loading on YouTube are of poor reliability, accuracy, and educational quality. The duration of the video and the type of narration can be kept in the foreground when choosing the video.Experts must review the content that is uploaded to websites like YouTube.
