Özet
Purpose: To determine the role and impact of Instagram concerning use and sharing routines, its im- pact on the degree of self-satisfaction with post-treatment work, and its emotional influence on those performing endodontic treatment in clinical practice during simultaneous social media monitoring. Methods: The study was conducted using a questionnaire data collection method. The questionnaire, consisting of two parts—demographics with four questions and an assessment of the aim of the study with seven questions—was administered to 151 individuals (students, general dentists, and endodon- tists). Results: As a result of the analysis, 98% of the respondents use Instagram, 90.1% follow endodontic posts and videos, and 88.7% found that the information they accessed affects their clinical life. It was found that Instagram affects clinicians’ self-satisfaction (81.5%) in a good or bad way concerning their practice. A higher number of clinicians responded that they try to offer better work due to the impact of social media (68.3%). Conclusion: In light of the present findings, Instagram may be a source of data and motivation to im- prove clinical experience and skills when used appropriately.
