ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study evaluates the usefulness and information quality of Instagram posts related to smile aesthetic. Material and Methods: The search identified 6.4 million posts related to smile aesthetic. The three most used hashtags were selected: #smilemakeover, #smiledesign, and #hollywoodsmile. The ''Top 300 posts'' listed by the Instagram search algorithm were recorded for each hashtag (n=300). Out of 900 posts, 225 were suitable for the research topic. The reliability of their general information was analyzed using the modified DISCERN analysis based on five questions, and the usefulness score based on six criteria was assessed by two independent reviewers. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and comparisons were performed using the KruskalWallis test and the Mann-Whitney U test (p=0.05). Results: Of the posts, 81.3% (n=183) were uploaded by the dentist/clinic, 4.4% (n=10) by the patient, and 14.2% (n=32) by the dental technician. According to the reliability of the posts' general information, there was a highly significant difference in the posts between those uploaded by the dentist/clinic and the other groups (p<0.001). There is a statistically significant difference between the Usefulness score of dentist/clinic and dental technician (p<0.001) but not between the other groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Despite dentist/clinic accounts' posts being more reliable and more useful Instagram posts do not contain reliable information for patients.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, gülüş estetiği ile ilgili Instagram gönderilerinin faydasını ve bilgi kalitesini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Gülüş estetiği ile ilgili 6,4 milyon gönderi tespit edilmiştir. En çok kullanılan 3 hashtag seçildi: #smilemakeover, #smiledesign ve #hollywoodsmile. Instagram arama algoritması tarafından listelenen ''Başlıca 300 gönderi'' her hashtag için kaydedildi (n=300). 900 gönderiden 225'i araştırma konusu için uygun bulundu. Genel bilgilerinin güvenilirliği, 5 sorudan oluşan modifiye DISCERN analizi kullanılarak ve faydalılık analizi ise 6 kritere göre 2 bağımsız hekim tarafından değerlendirildi. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler hesaplandı ve karşılaştırmalar Kruskal-Wallis testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılarak yapıldı (p=0,05). Bulgular: Gönderilerin %81,3'ü (n=183) diş hekimi/klinik tarafından, %4,4'ü (n=10) hasta tarafından ve %14,2'si (n=32) diş teknisyeni tarafından paylaşılmıştır. Gönderilerin genel bilgilerinin güvenilirliğine göre diş hekimi/klinik tarafından yüklenen gönderiler ile diğer gruplar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Diş hekimi/klinik ve diş teknisyeni grupları arasında faydalılık analizi açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,001), ancak diğer gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Diş hekimi/klinik hesaplarının gönderileri daha güvenilir ve faydalı olmasına rağmen Instagram gönderileri hastalar için güvenilir bilgi içermemektedir.
