Analysis of relationship between cyberchondria levels and oral health in dental patients
As digital technologies continue to advance, the frequency of online health information searches is also increasing. In the present study, patients with high CSS scores were found to have low DMFT category and better oral care status; however, these associations were not statistically significant. Nonetheless, the findings suggest that cyberchondria may have an influence on individuals' oral hygiene behaviors.
