Background: The use of cyberspace and social media has increased in recent years and has been applied to improve the health of people in society. A study was conducted to determine the attitude of people in Isfahan towards the use of these platforms in the field of dentistry.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 257 randomly selected participants from three groups based on age and education level in each of Isfahan's 15 districts. The questionnaire used in the study was divided into two parts: general information and attitude-related questions. To analyse the data, Student's t-test, Chi-square, Friedman, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used (α=0.05).
Results: The study in Isfahan showed high use of cyberspace in dentistry, especially by women, young adults (16-35 years), and those with higher education. Users mainly seek dental information and select a dentist, with a significant relation to age (p<0.001), gender (p=0.048) and level of education (p=0.001) Posi- tive online comments and reviews were more important for young adults (16-35years old) (p<0.001) and have no significant relationship with gender and education (p>0.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion the people of Isfahan had a positive attitude towards using cyberspace and so- cial media in. Age, gender, and level of education can affect the use of cyberspace for health training, and selection of type and place of treatment.
