Oral medicine represents a complex branch of dentistry, involved in diagnosing and managing a wide range of disorders. Youtube offers a huge source of information for users and patients affected by oral diseases. This systematic review aims to evaluate the reliability of Youtube oral medicine-related content as a valid dissemination aid.
The MeSH terms "Youtube" and "oral" have been searched by three search engines (PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library), and a systematic review has been performed; the PRISMA checklist has been followed in the search operations.
Initial results were 210. Ten studies definitely met our selection criteria.
Youtube represents a dynamic device capable of easy and rapid dissemination of medical-scientific content. Nevertheless, the most of information collected in the literature shows a lack of adequate knowledge and the need to utilize a peer-reviewing tool in order to avoid the spreading of misleading and dangerous content.

通过三个搜索引擎(PubMed、ISI Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library)搜索 MeSH 术语“Youtube”和“oral”,并进行系统评价;在搜索操作中遵循 PRISMA 清单。
最初的结果是 210 个。其中 10 项研究完全符合我们的选择标准。
Youtube 是一种能够轻松快速传播医学科学内容的动态设备。然而,文献中收集到的大部分信息显示出知识的缺乏,并且需要利用同行评审工具来避免传播误导性和危险的内容。
