“…The mean value of correct answers in the avulsion trauma management was always lower than the score reported for other dental trauma (crown and root fractures). The results of the current survey are in accordance to those represented in Table 5 [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…A recent questionnaire study by Abdullah et al conducted in Malaysia on a sample of 182 general dental practitioners (GDPs) defined the level of knowledge as adequate with a mean correct response rate of 72.7% [16]. These results, although considered to be good, were nevertheless identified as to be improved.…”

(1) Background: In Italy, about one fourth of all schoolchildren experience a trauma to the permanent dentition. Management of avulsion trauma is challenging and requires adherence to clinical protocols. The aim of this study was to investigate the management knowledge of avulsed teeth among Italian dentists and to promote the guidelines’ dissemination through the use of new social media. (2) Methods: The survey was carried out during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy (March–May 2020). The questionnaire was sent anonymously to a total of 600 dentists. The questionnaire consisted of two parts. Part A—demographic and professional data and Part B—management of traumatic avulsion. (3) Results: The response rate was 50.6% and the mean fraction of correct responses was 0.524. Issues related to the therapeutic management of avulsed teeth were shown to be not well understood by the respondents. Professionals with qualifications in dentistry and those who declared to know the guidelines responded better, while other demographic and professional factors were insignificant. (4) Conclusions: Italian dentists’ knowledge of the management of avulsion trauma should be improved. Educational programs and campaigns must be undertaken to improve their awareness and adherence to the Italian and international guidelines.

“…When asked whether the avulsed permanent tooth can be replanted, only 24.9% of dental assistants could give the correct answer 69 . However, the studies done with dentists or specialists reported correct answers in >80% of participants 59,63,66,67,72–74 . Regarding the replantation of avulsed primary teeth, >75% dentists gave the correct response in three studies, 59,63,72 50%‐75% in three studies, 60,61,69 25%‐50% in three studies 62,65,73 and <25% in one study 64 .…”

Background Dental professionals are the primary care providers for traumatic dental injuries (TDI). The dental traumatology literature has a number of studies evaluating the knowledge of dental professionals from different parts of the world but its global status is unknown. Hence, the aim of this systematic review was to assess the global status of knowledge for the prevention and emergency management of TDI in dental professionals and to provide recommendations for future research. Materials and Methods The protocol was designed as per the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020192381). A broad‐based search using text words and MeSH terms was performed in established databases as per a pre‐defined strategy without any distinction of language and year of publication. Studies without details of the questionnaire, knowledge score, validity and reliability were excluded. Data extraction was performed, risk of bias assessment was done using the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal tool, and a meta‐analysis was performed. Results Sixteen studies, which had been published between 2008 and 2020, were included for qualitative synthesis. Most of them were cross‐sectional, used convenience sampling and evaluated knowledge for avulsion. Previous dental trauma training was undertaken by <50% of the participants of five studies, <50% knew about the correct approach in management of complicated crown fractures in three studies and ≤60% in four studies knew the critical time for replantation. There was insufficient level of knowledge in >50% of the included studies. High risk of bias was found in three studies. Conclusion The knowledge level in several areas of the world was unknown. The studies lacked uniformity in methods and well‐designed questionnaires and they revealed insufficient levels of knowledge among dental professionals.

“…Para la particularidad del trauma tipo avulsión, más de la mitad de los estudiantes no asumirían la mejor actitud en caso de tener que atenderlo, lo cual coincide con lo expuesto por Fujita et al [35] en el 2014 (Japón) a partir de estudiantes de Odontología. Otros autores como Abdullah et al [36], en el 2016 (Malasia), reportan cómo, pese a que 46% de los odontólogos generales valorados obtuvo puntajes favorables en la atención de dientes avulsionados, no son resultados totalmente satisfactorios, por lo que sugirieron la mejora tanto del conocimiento como del ejercicio de la práctica clínica. Así mismo, los autores del presente estudio recomiendan que es necesario utilizar algunas estrategias educativas complementarias que permitan capacitar a los estudiantes para mejorar las actitudes ante la atención de estas situaciones clínicas.…”

Introducción. Los traumatismos dentales constituyen uno de los motivos de consulta odontológica. Se presentan con frecuencia en niños y jóvenes, provocando impacto social y psicológico. Diversos estudios centran su interés en el conocimiento existente en padres, maestros y dentistas generales, sin embargo en estudiantes de odontología no se dispone de mucha información. Por esto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el nivel de conocimiento, actitudes y experiencia en la atención del trauma dental en estudiantes de una Escuela Universitaria Privada en Cartagena, Colombia. Métodos. Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en estudiantes de último año, por medio de un cuestionario de auto-reporte anónimo.Los datos fueron procesados y analizados con el programa Stata v.13.2. Utilizando estadística descriptiva y análisis bivariado a través de pruebas χ2. Resultados. La muestra fueron 45 sujetos, con edad promedio 23,3 ±1,94 años. El nivel conocimiento fue aceptable en 64,4% de los estudiantes, asimismo los estudiantes que forman parte de este porcentaje presentan un escaso conocimiento en fractura alveolar, luxación intrusiva con fistula supurante, luxación intrusiva y lateral y de acuerdo a la severidad del trauma. Las actitudes fueron desfavorable en 82% de los estudiantes y el 95% no han cursado con casos de traumatismos dentales. No se reportó asociación estadísticamente significativa entre variables de estudio. Conclusión. Aunque el nivel de conocimiento respecto a trauma dental en los sujetos de estudio es aceptable y es notoria la poca experiencia clínica en su tratamiento, es compromiso de la Escuela de odontología el propender desde la academia por fortalecer las competencias en la atención de este tipo de situaciones clínicas.
