Recently, the main American associations in the dental field reported concerns regarding a film on the Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and Vimeo platforms that reported that endodontic treatments of root canals are linked to serious systemic pathologies, against any scientific evidence. This extreme case highlights how information, in a social networking era, is dramatically conditioned by a small number of users, leading to large scale consequences in political opinions, alimentary choices, or even in healthcare policy. It is urgent to demonstrate a strong awareness by the academic, institutional, and associative bodies in order to restore the correct flow of information on mass media and social networks.
最近，美国牙科领域的主要协会报告了对Netflix、亚马逊、苹果和Vimeo平台上一部影片的担忧，该影片宣称根管的牙髓治疗与严重的全身性病理状况有关，这与任何科学证据相悖。这个极端案例凸显了在社交网络时代，信息是如何受到少数用户的极大影响，从而在政治观点、饮食选择甚至医疗政策方面产生大规模后果。学术机构和协会团体迫切需要展现出强烈的意识，以恢复大众媒体和社交网络上信息的正确传播。
