Zusammenfassung:Objectives: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the quality and accuracy of the information provided by YouTube™ videos on interproximal reduction (IPR). Materials and Methods: A systematic exploration of YouTube™ videos about IPR was collected using the search word "IPR" from the Google Trends application. The first 200 videos were viewed and 131 videos were incorporated in the study. The video content was scored using 12-point score scale, which was used for the classification of low-, moderate-, and high-content video groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test, post hoc Bonferroni test, and multinomial logistic regression analysis were used. Spearman's correlation was used for statistical evaluations. Results: We graded videos as low (59.5%), moderate (37.4%), and high (3.1%) content. Health professionals uploaded most of the videos (52.7%). "Procedure" (87%) was the most mentioned topic, while "oral hygiene instructions" (1.5%) was the least mentioned. The moderate-content scores of "Procedure," "Duration in minutes," "Flow of information," "Quality," and "Precision" were found to be statistically higher than the low-content scores. The video information and quality index total scores were found to be significantly higher in the moderate-score than the low-score group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The content of videos with IPR on YouTube™ is insufficient. It is important for the specialist who will perform the IPR procedure to be aware of the available information on the internet to direct their patients to access the correct information.
