Misinformation or education? A comparative analysis of Instagram posts related to full mouth rehabilitation

Instagram holds significant potential for disseminating accurate dental health information. However, the dominance of promotional content and the low involvement of dental professionals contribute to a high prevalence of misinformation. To enhance the platform's reliability as a health communication tool, increased participation by dental experts and improved content oversight are essential. Future research should evaluate strategies for promoting evidence-based information on social media, particularly for advanced procedures like FMR.

Abstract

Instagram holds significant potential for disseminating accurate dental health information. However, the dominance of promotional content and the low involvement of dental professionals contribute to a high prevalence of misinformation. To enhance the platform's reliability as a health communication tool, increased participation by dental experts and improved content oversight are essential. Future research should evaluate strategies for promoting evidence-based information on social media, particularly for advanced procedures like FMR.
