Abstract

Purpose:To evaluate the content and quality of information on gummy smile offered by YouTube videos for patients.
Materials and Methods:The keyword “gummy smile” was searched on Youtube. Videos were categorized as useful, misleading or personal experience based on their content. Videos were analysed to evaluate the and quality and scientific reliability of the information using Global Quality Scale(GQS) and DISCERN criteria; and the understandability of this information using a tailormade custom comprehensiveness index(CI). The source and user interaction information for each video were recorded.
Results:A total of 98 videos were included for analysis. The videos of 64(65.3%) were considered as useful, 18(18.4%) provided by misleading information, and 16(16.3%) described personal experiences. The source of the videos was 66(67.3%) of dentists/specialist, 8(8.2%) of clinics/hospitals, 8(8.2%) of TV channel/news agencies and 16(16.3%) of were other. The GQS was <4 in most of the videos (92.9%). Based on 0‐2 CI scores, 36, 51 and eleven videos had a score of 0, 1 and 2, respectively. 87(88.8%) and 71(72.4%) videos showed clear aims and reliable sources of information according to DISCERN criteria, respectively. The mean GQS and CI were significantly higher in useful video content compared to misleading and personal experience videos(p<0.001).The mean GQS and CI in dentist-sourced videos were significantly higher than in TV and other-sourced videos(p<0.001).
Conclusion:Youtube provides informative videos about gummy smile however,it is considered that YouTube may be inadequate as a reliable source of information of gummy smile for patients due to its deficiencies in quality and content of videos.
