The following exclusion criteria were applied: language other than English, videos that did not cover oral biopsy techniques, videos on nonhuman specimens, postoperative instructions, personal experiences, exfoliative cytology, or “brush biopsy.” Forty-seven selected videos were classified based on their duration, country of origin, date of upload to the system, author, information source and number of views, and likes and dislikes. Video quality was analyzed using DISCERN, the Global Quality Scale (GQS), and the Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI).ResultsThe majority (78.7%) of analyzed videos were uploaded by dentists, originating from India (48.9%), with a mean duration of 11.8 min (SD, 20.4), with 104.5 likes (SD, 186.4) and 7.1 dislikes (SD, 10.55). The mean values for DISCERN, GQS, and VIQI were 1.3 (SD, 0.52), 2.1 (SD, 1.04), and 9.62 (SD, 1.69), respectively.ConclusionThe majority of videos on oral biopsy published on YouTube are of low quality PB Wiley SN 1354-523X YR 2023 FD 2023-07-23 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/31263 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/31263 LA eng NO Oral Diseases, 00, 1–13 NO This project is co-funded by the European Union's Erasmus + Programme “Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders: Training of Healthcare Professionals” (grant number 2020-1-UK01-KA202–078917).
