Assessment of the Content and Quality of Youtube Videos Related Subperiosteal Implants: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the content and quality of YouTube videos related to subperiosteal implants, focusing on their educational value and reliability for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Materials and Methods: A total of 150 YouTube videos were identified using the keyword "subperiosteal implant" and filtered by English language. The videos have no audio; non-English language; off-topic content; duration exceeding 30 minutes; YouTube. The demographic data of videos as source of upload, comments, likes, interaction index, viewing and duration were recorded, and the videos were divided into low (LCG) and moderate-high content (MHG) groups according to their contents. The videos content quality was assessed using the DISCERN tool and Global Quality (GQ) scale.
Results: In this study, 69 YouTube videos on subperiosteal implants were analyzed, with 72.5% uploaded by commercial organizations and only one video by a university. The primary target audience of the analyzed YouTube videos predominantly comprised healthcare professionals. The moderate-high content group (MHG) had mean DISCERN and GQ scores of 42.89 and 2.97, respectively, compared to 31.4 and 1.82 in the low-content group (LCG) (p=0.001). The most frequently discussed topics included implant definitions and procedural steps, while postoperative care, complications, and contraindications were underrepresented. Statistical differences were observed in video length (p=0.021), but no significant differences were found for other demographic data.
Conclusions: YouTube videos related to subperiosteal implants are generally inadequate for educational purposes, especially for patients. To improve content quality, healthcare professionals and academic institutions should actively contribute accurate, evidence-based videos. Enhanced video resources could better serve as reliable educational tools in clinical dentistry.
