ABSTRACT
An aesthetic smile is usually associated with healthy appearance and success in many areas of life. Currently, individuals access the internet and social media in search of health information. The aim of this study was to analyse the quality and reliability of information in videos available on the YouTubeTM platform about ultra-thin ceramic laminates. Methods: YouTubeTM was searched using the therms "dental ceramic laminates" and "dental contact lens" for videos uploaded on ultra-thin ceramic laminates. The first 100 videos in Portuguese were selected and rated for quality and reliability. The content and source of videos were also noted. The quality of the videos was determined by evaluating the presence or absence of reliable information and distributed into seven domains. To compare the distributions of quantitative variables between the classifications of source, content, and quality, the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's post-hoc tests were performed. Results: Seventy-two videos were included for qualitative analysis. Regarding quality rating, most videos were rated with poor quality. The reliability of the evaluated videos was low. Conclusion: YouTubeTM showed a large number of videos with many views on the topic, but it does not contribute with good quality and reliable information to the population
