Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and analyse the quality, accuracy and content of videos about endo-perio lesions on the Youtube platform.
Material and Methods: The search term "endo-perio lesions" was identified using the Google Trends application. On 1 December 2023, between 10:00 and 13:00, the term "endo-perio lesions" was searched on YouTube videos. The URLs of the first 200 videos were copied and the 40 videos that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated and scored for Global Quality Score (GQS), Modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) scale and completeness. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk and Mann-Whitney U tests. The significance level was determined as p<0.05.
Results: The highest average GQS (mean±SD: 4,40 ± 0,52), mDISCERN (mean±SD: 4,80 ± 0,42) and completeness score (mean±SD: 4,90 ± 1,45), were found in videos posted by dentists or specialists. Among the content of the 40 videos, the most frequently mentioned topic was 'treatment of endo-perio lesions' (%82.5), followed by 'clinical and radiographic findings' (%77.5), 'etiological factors' (%62.5) and 'diagnosis' (%62.5). Other topics included, in decreasing order, 'classification of endodontic lesions' (%55), 'prognosis (%50)', 'microbiology' (%10) and 'pathology' (%10).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that YouTube can provide valuable and useful information about endodontic lesions, within the limitations of this study. However, it is recommended to supplement this information with additional details on the prognosis, microbiology, and pathology of the lesions.

Endo-Perio Lezyonlar Konusundaki YouTube Videolarının Bilgi Kalitesinin, Doğruluğunun ve İçeriğinin Değerlendirilmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı YouTube platformunda endo-perio lezyonlarla ilgili videoların kalitesini, doğruluğunu ve içeriğini değerlendirmek ve analiz etmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Google Trends uygulaması ile arama terimi olarak "endo perio lesions" belirlendi ve 1 Aralık 2023 günü saat 10:00 ile 13:00 arasında YouTube videolarında "endo-perio lezyonlar" terimi arandı. İlk 200 videonun URL’leri kopyalanmış ve dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 40 video Global Kalite Puanı (GQS), Modifiye DISCERN (mDISCERN) ölçeği ve video içerik bütünlüğü açısından değerlendirilerek puanlandı. İstatistiksel analiz, tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra Shapiro-Wilk ve Mann-Whitney U testleri kullanılarak yapıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak belirlendi.
Bulgular: En yüksek ortalama GQS (ortalama±SS: 4,40 ± 0,52), mDISCERN (ortalama±SS: 4,80 ± 0,42) ve video içerik bütünlüğü puanı (ortalama±SS: 4,90 ± 1,45) diş hekimleri veya uzmanlar tarafından yayınlanan videolarda bulundu. 40 videonun içeriğinde en sık bahsedilen konu 'endo-perio lezyonların tedavisi' (%82.5) olurken, bunu 'klinik ve radyografik bulgular' (%77.5), 'etiyolojik faktörler' (%62.5), ve 'tanı' (%62.5) takip etti. Diğer konular azalan sırayla 'endodontik lezyonların sınıflandırılması' (%55), 'prognoz' (%50), 'mikrobiyoloji' (%10) ve 'patoloji'yi (%10) içeriyordu.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sınırları dahilinde YouTube'un endodontik lezyonlar hakkında değerli ve faydalı bilgiler sağlayabileceği sonucuna varılabilir. Ancak bu bilgilerin lezyonların prognozu, mikrobiyolojisi ve patolojisine ilişkin ek ayrıntılarla desteklenmesi önerilir.
