Background/Aim:
Traumatic dental injuries are a common health problem in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the video contents on YouTube™ regarding traumatic dental injuries in children taking into account the information of IADT, and to analyze whether it is useful for patients and dentists.
Material And Methods:
A search was performed on YouTube™ using the search term "trauma in pediatric dentistry" with the default filter set to "sort by relevance". Based on this search, 127 videos were included. Demographic data such as the source, type, duration, upload date, number of likes and dislikes, interaction index, and viewing rate of the videos were recorded. Using a 23-point scale for video content analysis, they were classified into groups as low, moderate, and high content.
Results:
A total of 127 videos were analyzed. Most of the videos were uploaded by healthcare professionals (n = 90; 70.8%). The average length of the videos was 16.4 min (range: 0.6-122.9 min; median: 7.8). The average number of views of each video was 3702.9 views (range: 4-87 103). The average interaction index (views/day) was 2.4 views (range: 0.00-19.5). The average viewing rate was 522.3 (range: 1.8-6381.2). The average number of "likes" was 45.0 (range: 0-619) and the average number of "dislikes" was 2.1 (range: 0-81). The mean number of days since the uploading of the video was 772.8 days (range: 23-3805). Most of the videos (94.4%, n = 120) were educational videos and 27 (21.2%), 40 (31.4%), and 60 (47.2%) were classified as high-content, moderate-content, and low-content groups, respectively.
Conclusions:
YouTube™ videos can be a useful resource for dental trauma in children. However, there is a need to improve the quality of YouTube™ videos uploaded by oral health professionals.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
