Abstract

Introduction and aim: YouTubeTM, founded in 2005, is the second most popular platform in the world and serves to find information on fixed orthodontics. For this reason, the objective of this study is to evaluate the quality and reliability of fixed orthodontic videos on the YouTubeTM platform for patients in Spanish. Methods: A search was made for videos related to fixed orthodontics on YouTubeTM. The key term was “orthodontics”, with a default filter of “most relevant videos” and the first 50 were chosen. The variables were: video information and quality, which was evaluated with questionnaires such as Global Quality Scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used in the evaluation of the conformity of the data for the normal distribution and the Kruskal-Wallis test for the evaluation of the variables. Results: In the information of the videos, the averages were very variable, and the duration of the videos had an average of 512.82 seconds. Regarding the source of the video, 54.00% were generated by dentists. No significant differences were observed in any of the DISCERN categories according to the source. When comparing video quality with video information, no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusion: There is no significant association between the information of the video and the source generated with the quality of the video. The analyzed videos are not considered dependable as the only source of fixed orthodontic information for the patient.
