	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; 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.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This cross-sectional study involved 257 randomly selected participants from three groups based on age and education level in each of Isfahan&amp;#39;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&amp;#39;s t-test, Chi-square, Friedman, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used (&amp;alpha;=0.05).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;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&lt;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&lt;0.001) and have no significant relationship with gender and education (p&gt;0.05).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
