dc.description.abstract | Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze the information quality and content of operational videos available on YouTube™ regarding amalgam fillings removal. Methods. Videos were determined using the words “Removal of amalgam fillings” and “Replacement of amalgam fillings” in the YouTube™ search section. 85 videos were included for analysis. Demographics of videos, viewers’ interactions, and viewing rates were evaluated. The videos were analyzed in two parameters in terms of Audio-visual quality and the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol steps. Results. It was determined that dentists accounts ranked first (62%) in the distribution of video sources. While only 19% of the videos were of “Excellent” audio-visual quality, 49% were rated as “Moderate” and 33% were rated as “Poor”. In the SMART evaluation, while only 10% of the videos got the “Maximal Useful” score, the majority of the videos got the “Slightly Useful” score (58%). There was no statistical relationship between the “View Rate” and “Interaction Index” variables of the videos (p> 0.05). Conclusions. Operational videos about the removal of dental amalgam fillings should be uploaded to YouTube™ after approval by the experts of the subject. Students should be warned about videos which contain insufficient information. Videos should be prepared in line with current information in the literature. | |
