Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the information included in YouTubeTM videos regarding Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis (PHGS). Material and Method: The term PHGS were typed into the search bar on YouTubeTM (www.YouTube.com), and the first 300 videos were scanned. Global Quality Score (GQS) and Reliability Score (a modified DISCERN tool), two social media video content evaluation methods, were used to assess the reliability and quality of the included videos. Each video\'s usefulness rating, source, duration, number of views, and likes were also recorded. The interaction index and viewing rates of videos were calculated. Results: 69% of the videos were very useful, and the GQS scores were good (48.3%) and excellent (17.2 %) mostly. The popularity and visibility data of videos were not correlated with the video usefulness score, GQS, and DISCERN (p>0.05). Total DISCERN scores and GQS were corelated with usefulness scores of the videos (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the number of videos on YouTubeTM on PHGS is insufficient, their quality and reliability are high, regardless of the number of views, duration and likes.
