Özet

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the information quality and content of operational videos available on YouTube (TM) regarding removal of amalgam fillings. Methods: The videos were determined using the words Removal of amalgam fillings and Replacement of amalgam fillings in the YouTube (TM) search section. 85 videos were included for analysis. Demographics of videos, viewers' interactions, and viewing rates were evaluated. The videos were analyzed in two parameters in terms of audio-visual quality and the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol steps. Results: It was determined that dentist accounts ranked first (62%) in the distribution of video sources. While only 19% of the videos were of Excellent audio-visual quality, 49% were rated as Moderate and 33% were rated as Poor. In the SMART evaluation, while only 10% of the videos got the Maximal Useful score, the majority of the videos got the Slightly Useful score (58%). There was no statistical relationship between the View Rate and Interaction Index variables of the videos (p> 0.05). Conclusions: Operational videos about removal of dental amalgam fillings should be uploaded to YouTube (TM) after approval by the experts of the subject. Students should be warned about videos which contain insufficient information. Videos should be prepared in line with current information in the literature.
