This study aims to assess the quality of the posts about wisdom teeth on Instagram in terms of patients benefit.
The #Wisdomteeth hashtag was searched on Instagram. The first 200 posts were reviewed. 50 posts were included in this study. Upload sources were categorized as health care professionals, health companies and individuals users. Post types were categorized as patient's experience, educational and scientifically erroneous. The posts were evaluated under eight titles for evaluating the usefulness score. The usefulness scores of the posts were classified as poor, moderate and excellent. Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi test was used for data. Significance level was accepted as P < 0.05 RESULTS: The usefulness score was between 0 and 2, with a mean of 0.16. There were no statistically significant differences between upload sources and usefulness score (p = 0.328). There were no statistically significant differences between the usefulness score and the number of comments (p = 0.126).
The results of the study showed that Instagram posts do not contain reliable information for patients.
