Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the content and quality of YouTube videos on bioceramic-based root canal sealers. A total of 43 videos were assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Global Quality Score (GQS) and Modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) measurement tools. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression (p < 0.05). Videos uploaded by dentists had significantly higher GQS, mDISCERN, JAMA and Total Content Score (TCS) scores than those from other sources (p < 0.05). Videos with rich content showed higher GQS, mDISCERN and JAMA scores than those with poor content (p < 0.05). Although the number of comments demonstrated an individual association with GQS, the overall regression model was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, most videos on bioceramic-based root canal sealers were of poor to moderate quality and could have limitations in reliability.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
