Özet:

 Objective: At the present time patients in developed countries widely use online resources to access medical information. YouTube is a widely used website to get knowledge. In the past, medical and dental data were accessed only by doctor and dentist examinations. This research was aimed to assess the quality and quantity of the knowledge content in popular YouTube videos about laser root canal treatment LRCT. Method: Google Trends showed that laser root canal treatment was the most searched keyword on the topic. Included videos were assessed as the videos name, universal resource locators, the number of video display, time of adding in website, total numbers of likes, dislikes and comments and total video time. Each video was classed into the 3 groups according to their information source as dentist, commercial, dental clinic. This video was classified according to the quality of information content as good, poor, or bad. In the evaluation of the data, the distribution of variables was examined with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the intergroup comparison of variables that did not show a normal distribution was examined with the Kruskal Wallis test. Comparison of subgroups was examined with Dunns multiple comparison test and comparison of qualitative data was analyzed with Chi-square test. The results were evaluated at the significance level of p 0.05. Results: Most of the YouTube videos on LRCT were uploaded by the dental clinic 44.0. The advantage of LRCT was the most commonly covered topic 64.0. No statistically significant difference was observed between the number of views, the number of comments, values of the bad, poor, and good situation groups. A statistically significant difference was observed between the number of likes of the bad, poor, and good situation groups p0.048. The liking values of the good group were found to be statistically significantly higher than the bad group p0.034. Conclusion: YouTube is a social media platform where comprises subjective comments, and some videos that can be easily accessed can give wrong knowledge sometimes. The content is active; therefore, the search results change continually, because the areas of interest and video number of views vary over time. YouTube platform has a large quantity of social media data that is hard to analyze and uncontrollable.
