Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of the information provided by the most watched videos about bruxism on YouTube™. Material and
Methods: The results of YouTube™search were examined using the keyword “bruxism”. The searching limited to the first 130 videos. DISCERN and the video information and quality index (VIQI) and the criteria were used for evaluating the videos. Also, the interaction index and the viewing rate of the videos were calculated. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Pearson's Chi-Square Test, Spearman's rho correlation were used for statistical analyses. Significance level was taken as p<0.05.
Results: Thirty-eight percentage of the videos were uploaded by dentist/specialist, 43% of them were uploaded by hospital, 4% of them were uploaded by commercial, 2% of them were uploaded by layperson, and 13% of them were uploaded by other. The average DISCERN score was 36.65 (poor). According to VIQI, 3 of the videos were found to be Scale 5, 15 of them were Scale 4, 35 of them were Scale 3, 39 of them were Scale 2, 8 of them were Scale 1.
Conclusion: The bruxism videos on YouTube™, mainly prepared by health professionals, were found to be insufficient and poor.
