Aim: This research intended to assess the quality of information acquired from YouTube videos concerning the zygomatic implant. Materials and Method: ‘Zygomatic implant’ was selected as the search term for YouTube videos. The first 200 videos were reviewed. After exceptions, the rest of them (n=57) were evaluated regarding the content’s usefulness according to 8 titles by two researchers. The videos were classified as poor (0), moderate (1), and excellent (2) based on the content scores. All videos were grouped according to upload sources (healthcare professionals, health companies, or others) and types (patient experience, educational, or scientifically incorrect). Kruskal-Wallis, Mann- Whitney U, Chi-square, and Pearson’s tests were performed for data analysis (p<0.05). Results: The mean usefulness score of the included videos was 0.77. When the video demographic data were compared with the usefulness score, the number of views of excellent and moderate videos was higher than poor videos (p=0.017 p=0.033, respectively), the number of likes for moderate videos was significantly higher than poor videos (p=0.005). There was a statistically significant difference between video type and usefulness score (p<0.05).The most informed topics were indications and advantages, contraindications were never mentioned. Conclusion: YouTube videos on zygomatic implants were the limited source for patient education.
