Nowadays, masseter botulinum toxin injections are frequently used to treat bruxism. People first search for social media resources for their health-related problems. However, the quality of the information on Instagram about masseter botox injection for bruxism is unknown.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality ant content of the Instagram posts shared publicly about masseter botox. The hashtag #masseterbotox was searched on Instagram.
A total of 1000 posts were scanned. Unrelated posts were excluded from the study. The video posts were evaluated by using Global Quality Scale (GQS) and reliability of information toolkits.
One-hundred seventy-nine photograph and 65 video posts that met the criteria were analyzed. Most of the posts were posted by doctors and healthcare professionals (151 posts), followed by clinics (87 posts) and patients (6 posts). The information reliability scores of Instagram video posts about #masseterbotox were found to be very low (1.34±1.28). Number of views, reliability of information and GQS scores were not statistically significant between groups according to the source of the video posts (p>.05). GQS scores were higher in experience videos than information and advertisement videos (p<.05).
Clinicians should warn their patients about the reliability of information on Instagram and should guide them to the right social media resources.
Dental professionals should direct their patients about masseter botox injections to the right resources on social media platforms.
如今，咀嚼肌肉毒杆菌毒素注射常用于治疗磨牙症。人们首先会在社交媒体上寻找与健康相关的问题的资源。然而，关于Instagram 上关于磨牙症的咀嚼肌肉毒杆菌注射的信息质量尚不清楚。
本研究旨在评估公开分享的关于咀嚼肌肉毒杆菌注射的 Instagram 帖子的质量和内容。在 Instagram 上搜索了#masseterbotox 标签。
共扫描了 1000 个帖子。与研究无关的帖子被排除在外。使用全球质量量表（GQS）和信息工具包评估视频帖子。
分析了符合标准的 179 张照片和 65 个视频帖子。大多数帖子是由医生和医疗保健专业人员（151 个帖子）发布的，其次是诊所（87 个帖子）和患者（6 个帖子）。关于#masseterbotox 的 Instagram 视频帖子的信息可靠性评分非常低（1.34±1.28）。根据视频帖子的来源，视频帖子的观看次数、信息可靠性和 GQS 评分在各组之间没有统计学意义（p>.05）。经验视频的 GQS 评分高于信息和广告视频（p<.05）。
临床医生应该警告他们的患者关于 Instagram 上信息的可靠性，并指导他们使用正确的社交媒体资源。
牙科专业人员应引导他们的患者在社交媒体平台上正确使用咀嚼肌肉毒杆菌注射。
