Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness and quality of popular videos about indirect restorations shared by different uploaders on
YouTube and to evaluate the demographic characteristics of the videos.
Materials and Methods: The most commonly used terms related directly to indirect posterior restorations were determined as
"inlay" and "onlay" in this topic. Of the 400 videos (200 for each topic), 40 videos were selected for analysis. Evaluations were
made for each video in terms of the following: (1) number of views, (2) number of comments, (3) days since up-load, (4) number
of ’likes’, (5) Viewing rate; [(number of views/number of days since upload) * 100%], (6) Viewer interaction, (7) Usefulness Index
score, (8) 5-point global quality scale (GQS) criteria.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found among usefulness scores and video sources. (p=0.754). Based on the
usefulness score, 20% were classified as good, 40% as poor, and 40% as moderate. No statistically significant difference was found
among primary purpose of videos and video sources. (p=0.754). The greatest number of videos (42.5%) was uploaded by dentists
(n=17). When the primary purpose is evaluated for the videos uploaded by dentists, the highest numerical value was determined as
education for health professionals (52.9%) (n=9).
Conclusions: The contents of YouTube videos regarding the indications and production stages of inlay and onlay restorations need
to be revised according to our evaluation criteria. The number of educational videos providing detailed content and information to
patients should be increased.
