You Tube is one of the most commonly used online sources for sharing information and knowledge. Academic topics or clinical data shared on this platform is not peer reviewed or evaluated by subject specialists for accuracy. No study was found in the literature examining the validity of crown preparation videos available at this platform.
To evaluate the authenticity of the content and quality of the crown preparation videos uploaded on the YouTube.
The systematic search for YouTube videos was carried out over a period of one year from January 2020 until February 2021. The keywords or phrases and tags used were crown preparation, PFM crown preparation, all ceramic crown preparation, and dental crown preparation. The videos were shortlisted on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria to select educationally useful videos in terms of content and quality.
Three subject specialists evaluated the videos on crown preparation three times to shortlist only 12 (11%) educationally useful videos out of 109 relevant videos. These 12 videos met the preset inclusion criteria.
Although YouTube is the most popular social media platform used as the source of information by the students, the majority of uploaded content lacks authenticity. This study found that crown preparation videos uploaded by the faculty members or subject specialists can be considered as the reliable source.
YouTube 是最常用的在线信息和知识共享平台之一。该平台上分享的学术主题或临床数据未经同行评审或由学科专家评估准确性。目前还没有研究检查该平台上可用的牙冠预备视频的有效性。
评估上传到 YouTube 的牙冠预备视频内容的真实性和质量。
从 2020 年 1 月到 2021 年 2 月，对 YouTube 视频进行了为期一年的系统搜索。使用的关键字或短语和标签是牙冠预备、金属烤瓷冠预备、全瓷冠预备和牙冠预备。根据纳入和排除标准对视频进行了筛选，以选择在内容和质量方面具有教育意义的有用视频。
三名学科专家对牙冠预备视频进行了三次评估，仅从 109 个相关视频中筛选出 12 个（11%）具有教育意义的有用视频。这些 12 个视频符合预设的纳入标准。
虽然 YouTube 是学生用作信息来源的最受欢迎的社交媒体平台，但大多数上传的内容缺乏真实性。本研究发现，教师或学科专家上传的牙冠预备视频可以被视为可靠的来源。
