Evaluation of the Shares about Temporomandibular Disorders in Social Media

Aim: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a class of degenerative musculoskeletal conditions associated with morphological and functional deformities. Although TMDs symptoms occur in about 25% of the population, very few individuals consult a specialist for the treatment. Patients are looking for different ways of acquiring information. One of these methods is social media. New definitions have entered our lives with Instagram. “Hashtag” is one of them that provides a quick link to related articles, content, and videos. The aim of this study was to determine the use of Instagram about TMD as well as to evaluate the content of the most frequently viewed video shares related to TMD using hashtag “#temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.” Materials and Methods: On December 17, 2019, #TMJ disorder which is the most shared hashtag related to TMD was searched in Instagram. In this study, first 80 video was preferred, but some videos were excluded due to irrelevant (4) and no-English (8). The remaining 68 video sources are divided into three categories by the researcher; non-professional, professional, and news. Results: “Number of views” is the most in professionals (10179.7), then the news (9439,5) and nonprofessionals (4385.4) are the least. Although “number of like” is the same ranking (195.7– 103.8–62.3), “number of comment” shows an increase in non-professionals (12.8–7.6–9.2). Conclusion: Videos shared by professionals are more common in TMD-related videos in Instagram. Health professionals need to be careful to create a reliable resource for patients. The content of the videos was also found poor about what can be done to avoid TMD. In addition to treatment-oriented videos, the number of videos including preventive options should increase.
