Abstract
Aim:We aimed to identify and analyze the quality of YouTubeTM videos on dental sedation.
 Materials and Methods:YouTube website was independently searched by researchers for videos on dental sedation published before December 27, 2020. Appropriate videos were determined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the research. All data about each video was recorded. Included videos were classified according to standardized quality criteria.
 Results:106 of the first 202 videos reached were included in the study. Most of the videos were from health professionals (88.68%). It was determined that the video contents of 15 videos were poor (14.15%), 81 moderate (76.42%), and 10 excellent (9.43%). There was no significant relationship between the content quality of the videos and the interaction index (p=0.108) and viewing rates (p=0.302). Significantly greater quality difference was seen between video sources (p= .013)
 Conclusions: The videos on YouTubeTM about dental sedation procedures cover some important aspects of treatment; however, data such as risk, contraindications, and cost are shared insufficiently in general. YouTubeTM, which is accessed frequently around the world, needs to work with healthcare professionals to provide accurate information, especially for content related to medical procedures, and offer some filtering options for these videos.
