An assessment of the composite laminate veneer videos on YouTube
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the content of YouTube™ videos about composite laminate applications, one of the aesthetic dental applications.
Methods: A systematic search was made on YouTube™ using the keywords ‘'bonding-aesthetic filling'’ and ‘composite laminate. The information content of the eligible videos was assessed and categorized based on the uploaders. In addition, the interaction index and viewing rates of the videos were also examined. The data obtained was analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) program.
Results: The first 100 videos were scanned in the study. 43 videos for 'bonding-aesthetic filling' and 29 videos for ‘composite laminate’ were included. A lack of explanation was the main exclusion criterion for the ‘'bonding-aesthetic filling’ (31.6%) and ‘composite laminate’ (62.0%) videos. There is a serious lack of information on contraindications, cost, points to be considered after the procedure, method, and disadvantages. There is a statistically significant difference in viewing rates in favor of poor content according to the video content status (Poor content <4 points, rich content > 4 points) (p<0.05). It can be seen that the majority of videos with poor content (82.9%) have been uploaded by specialist dentists and dentists, private hospitals, and private clinics.
Conclusion: It was found that the majority of YouTube™ videos related to composite laminate were uploaded without any narrative and their informative content was insufficient. On the other hand, it was observed that as the scientific value of the videos decreased, their viewing rates increased.
