“…The majority of the respondents in this study (65.3%) reported that an avulsed permanent tooth should not be replanted in all cases, which is in accordance with the results of the studies conducted by Cohenca et al [4] and Zhao and Gong [18], in which 53.3% and 72.8% of the participating dentists, respectively, had the same opinion. The current IADT guidelines [1] provide examples of individual situations in which replantation is not indicated, including cases of severe caries or periodontal disease, cases in which the patient is not cooperative and cases in which the patient has certain severe medical conditions, such as immunosuppression or a severe cardiac condition.…”

BackgroundStudies evaluating dental assistants’ knowledge about tooth avulsion and its management are rare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge about tooth avulsion and its management among dental assistants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and to assess its relationship with their educational background.MethodsA convenience sampling methodology was employed for sample selection. Over a period of four months starting in February, 2013, 691 pretested 17-item questionnaires were distributed. A total of 498 questionnaires were returned for an overall response rate of 72.1%. Six questions were related to knowledge about permanent tooth avulsion and one question was related to knowledge about primary tooth avulsion. Correct answers to these questions were assigned one point each, and based on this scoring system, an overall knowledge score was calculated. An analysis of covariance was used to test the association between the level of knowledge (total score) and the educational qualifications of the respondents (dental degree and others). A P-value of 0.05 was considered the threshold for statistical significance.ResultsThe majority of the respondents (n = 387; 77.7%) were non-Saudis (377 were from the Philippines), and 79.1% (n = 306) of the Filipinos had a dental degree. The question about recommendations for an avulsed tooth that is dirty elicited the highest number of correct responses (n = 444; 89.2%), whereas the question about the best storage media elicited the lowest number of correct responses (n = 192; 38.6%). The overall mean score for knowledge about tooth avulsion was 6.27 ± 1.74. The mean knowledge score among the respondents with a dental degree was 6.63 ± 1.37, whereas that among the respondents with other qualifications was 5.71 ± 2.08.ConclusionsThe educational qualifications of the surveyed dental assistants were strongly correlated with the level of knowledge about tooth avulsion and its management.

BackgroundAn avulsed permanent tooth is one of the most emergency situations in dentistry. Dentists handling the situation should have adequate knowledge in this field. ObjectiveTo assess the level of knowledge of emergency management of avulsed teeth among general dentists in Kathmandu. MethodsA questionnaire containing 10 close ended questions about emergency management of avulsed teeth was distributed among 102 general dental practitioners working in different private dental hospitals and clinics of Kathmandu. The dental hospital and clinics were randomly selected. This cross sectional study was conducted between January 2012 to February 2012. ResultsAmong the studied group, almost all of the participants, 98(96.1%) said that an avulsed permanent tooth cannot be replanted in all cases. Majority of them, 63 (61.8%) said that the critical time for the replantation is within 20 minutes. General dentists of Kathmandu did not have adequate knowledge about emergency management of avulsed teeth. ConclusionAn education program should be conducted to increase the knowledge of general dentists in the management of traumatic injuries to teeth.

Résumé -Introduction. Le traumatisme dentaire fait partie des traumatismes oro-faciaux qui constituent 5 % de l'ensemble des traumatismes. C'est une urgence quand il s'agit de la luxation d'une dent définitive. Patients et méthode. C'est une étude prospective portant sur 47 patients ayant eu une dent luxée réimplantée et contenue par un arc de Dautrey. L'objectif principal de cette étude est d'étudier les luxations traumatiques des dents permanentes et l'objectif particulier est de montrer leur incidence, le principe de la réimplantation et la contention avec un arc de Dautrey. Résultats. Cette pathologie traumatique touche en particulier les enfants de 7 à 12 ans, de sexe masculin, mais elle n'épargne pas les adultes. La majorité des dents touchées sont les incisives centrales maxillaires à cause de leur position sur le massif facial. Après traitement, la quasi-totalité des patients ont eu un test d'immobilité positif et plus de la moitié ont un test de vitalité positif. L'immobilité peut être le résultat d'une régénération de l'espace desmodontal, mais elle peut traduire également une ankylose alvéolo-dentaire où la dent n'est plus vivante. Discussion. Cette étude montre que ce type de traitement est efficace pour conserver une dent définitive réimplantée. Abstract -Avulsion of permanent teeth: incidence, relocation and containment by Dautrey arc. Introduction.Dental trauma is one of oro-facial trauma that constitue 5% of injuries in general. This is one of maxillofacial emergencies when there is a dislocation of a permanent tooth. Patients and method. This is a prospective study of 47 patients who had an avulsed tooth relocated and contained by a Dautrey arc. The main objective of this study is to investigate the traumatic dislocation of permanent teeth and the specific objective is to show the frequency, the principle of replantation and containment by Dautrey arc. Results. This traumatic disease affects particularly children from 7 to 12 years old, male, but spares either adults. The majority of the affected teeth are the maxillary central incisors because of their position on facial skeleton. After treatment, almost all patients had a positive immobility test and more than half have positive vitality test. Immobility may be the result of a regeneration of the periodontal space, but it may also reflect a dentoalveolarankylosis where the tooth is no longer alive. Discussion. This study allows us to deduce that this type of treatment is effective in saving a permanent tooth replantation.
