Source for Regenerative Endodontics?
AB  - Objective: This study assessed the educational quality and reliability of YouTube
videos about regenerative endodontics.
Materials and Methods: The YouTube videos were viewed using the searching
terms ‘regenerative endodontic treatment’, ‘endodontic regeneration’, ‘pulp
regeneration’, ‘pulp revascularization’, and ‘pulp revitalization’. The first 60 videos
(300 videos, in total) were searched for each term and after initial screening, 70
videos were selected for analysis by three reviewers according to the inclusion
criteria. The global score for educational value and modified DISCERN score was
used to evaluate the quality and reliability of the videos. Kruskal-Wallis test and
chi-square test were used to analyze data. Correlations analyzed using Pearson-
Spearman test.
Results: The mean of Modified DISCERN score of the YouTube videos about
regenerative endodontics was 3.02±1.07 which was categorized as moderate
reliability. The mean of global score for educational value of the videos was
2.05±1.13 and 37.1% (n=26) of them were in a poor quality while 14.3% (n=10)
were in a good quality due to the scoring of this value. No excellent quality video
was found.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the amount of educational and reliable
information on YouTube videos about regenerative endodontics is limited.
