YouTube has emerged as a popular platform for accessing educational content. However, its effectiveness has been a topic of debate in dental education. This study aimed to analyze the content and quality of YouTube videos focusing on Class II resin composite restorations. The first 100 videos of Class II resin composite information on YouTube were evaluated. The overall quality of the videos was assessed using the video information and quality index (VIQI) and Content Score based on Class II resin composite criteria. Videos with a score of less than the mean were recognized as low-content. No significant differences were observed between high- and low-content videos when the number of views, likes, duration, days since upload, viewing rate, and interaction index were investigated (p>0.05). The number of subscribers revealed a marginally significant difference (p=0.053). The high-content videos demonstrated higher mean values compared to the low-content videos in flow (4.6 vs. 3.8; p=0.0004), accuracy (4.3 vs. 3.3; p<0.0001), value (3.7 vs. 2.9; p=0.002), and precision (4.8 vs. 4.2; p=0.0002). The overall VIQI score was significantly higher (p<0.0001) in high-content videos (Mean 17.4; SD 1.5) compared to the low-content videos (Mean 14.2; SD 2.2). When the Content Score was assessed, high-content videos (Mean 9.9; SD 1.3) revealed a higher score (p<0.0001) than low-content-videos (Mean 4.2; SD 2.3). Most YouTube videos showcasing Class II resin composites serve as effective teaching tools. However, a significant number of videos with low content exist. Therefore, dental students should exercise caution when utilizing YouTube videos for learning purposes.
YouTube已成为获取教育内容的热门平台。然而，其在牙科教育中的有效性一直是一个有争议的话题。本研究旨在分析YouTube上聚焦于Ⅱ类树脂复合材料修复的视频内容和质量。对YouTube上关于Ⅱ类树脂复合材料信息的前100个视频进行了评估。使用视频信息和质量指数（VIQI）以及基于Ⅱ类树脂复合材料标准的内容评分来评估视频的整体质量。得分低于平均值的视频被认定为低内容视频。在调查观看次数、点赞数、时长、上传天数、观看率和互动指数时，高内容视频和低内容视频之间未观察到显著差异（p>0.05）。订阅者数量显示出微弱的显著差异（p=0.053）。与低内容视频相比，高内容视频在流畅性（4.6对3.8；p=0.0004）、准确性（4.3对3.3；p<0.0001）、价值（3.7对2.9；p=0.002）和精确性（4.8对4.2；p=0.0002）方面表现出更高的平均值。高内容视频的总体VIQI得分（平均值17.4；标准差1.5）显著高于低内容视频（平均值14.2；标准差2.2）（p<0.0001）。在评估内容评分时，高内容视频（平均值9.9；标准差1.3）的得分高于低内容视频（平均值4.2；标准差2.3）（p<0.0001）。大多数展示Ⅱ类树脂复合材料的YouTube视频可作为有效的教学工具。然而，存在大量低内容的视频。因此，牙科学生在将YouTube视频用于学习目的时应谨慎。
