The Scopus electronic literature database was accessed to identify relevant papers. After screening, a total of 128 papers entered the analysis. The bibliographic data were provided by Scopus, whereas content evaluations were manually performed. Most papers evaluated videos recorded in English (85.9%). Each of the 128 papers analyzed a mean (\u00b1SD) of 79.2 \u00b1 61.6 videos. Mean journal impact factor was 1.8 \u00b1 1.4, and mean citation count was 13.0 \u00b1 22.4. The preference for publication of papers was inclined towards dental journals (80.5%), with the majority (54.7%) being published without open access. Papers dealing with videos targeting patients\/public had higher citations than those targeting dental professionals only (14.1 \u00b1 23.4 vs. 4.0 \u00b1 6.3, p &lt; 0.001). The most represented as well as the most highly cited specialty of the dental YouTube publications was oral and maxillofacial surgery\/oral medicine. Some twin or triplet studies published in the same year covering the same topic were identified, but they often covered a different number of videos.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications12030022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T08:40:04Z","timestamp":1721896804000},"page":"22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Bibliometric Analysis of Papers Dealing with Dental Videos on YouTube"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3672-357X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andy Wai Kan","family":"Yeung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Applied Oral Sciences and Community Dental Care, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 852, China"},{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Digital Health and Patient Safety (LBI-DHPS), Medical University of Vienna, 1180 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"given":"Maima","family":"Matin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 05-552 Jastrz\u0119biec, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4186-4900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michel Edwar","family":"Mickael","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 05-552 Jastrz\u0119biec, Poland"}]},{"given":"Sybille","family":"Behrens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Digital Health and Patient Safety (LBI-DHPS), Medical University of Vienna, 1180 Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, General Intensiv Care and Pain Management, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3702-632X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalibor","family":"Hrg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, 42000 Varazdin, Croatia"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"\u0141awi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 05-552 Jastrz\u0119biec, Poland"},{"name":"Department of General, Gastroenterologic and Oncologic Surgery, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-097 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7755-4445","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabian Peter","family":"Hammerle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Digital Health and Patient Safety (LBI-DHPS), Medical University of Vienna, 1180 Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, General Intensiv Care and Pain Management, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"given":"Atanas G.","family":"Atanasov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Digital Health and Patient Safety (LBI-DHPS), Medical University of Vienna, 1180 Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 05-552 Jastrz\u0119biec, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e23656","DOI":"10.2196\/23656","article-title":"Young adults\u2019 use of different social media platforms for health information: Insights from web-based conversations","volume":"24","author":"Lim","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
