“…In question 2, compared with pulpotomy, pulpectomy requires less cooperation by the child. Second, studies from different countries have demonstrated a low‐to‐moderate knowledge level of dentists regarding dental trauma 30,34‐36 . Possible explanations for these discrepancies could be economic, population‐based, and diversities in oral health policy in various countries.…”

“…Second, studies from different countries have demonstrated a low-to-moderate knowledge level of dentists regarding dental trauma. 30,[34][35][36] Possible explanations for these discrepancies could be economic, population-based, and diversities in oral health policy in various countries. The differences in methodology and study design should also be considered when comparing the knowledge level of dentists in different studies.…”

Background/Aim Injuries to the primary dentition affect children's esthetics, function, and mental health. They may also affect the development of the permanent teeth. The knowledge of dentists about deciduous tooth trauma is rarely evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of dentists in China regarding traumatic dental injuries to primary teeth. Material and Methods A self‐administered online questionnaire containing questions on demographic data and knowledge based on a clinical scenario was given to a purposive sample of dentists, recruited by a non‐probability convenience sampling method. The chi‐square test was used for statistical analysis, with the significance level set at P <.05. Results A total of 394 out of 409 dentists provided valid data. There was no significant difference in demographic data. Questions about the treatment of hard dental tissue injuries in primary teeth presented a correct‐response rate of 66.4%, with the highest correct‐response rate for enamel fracture (n = 368, 93.4%) and lowest for complicated crown‐root fracture with pulp exposure (n = 104, 26.4%). Questions about treatment of luxation injuries in primary teeth presented a correct‐response rate of 66.6%, with subluxation presenting the highest correct‐response rate (n = 391, 99.2%). Factors associated with higher correct‐response rates were specialist disciplines, educational qualifications, workplaces, experience of injured teeth treated, and educational experience about primary tooth trauma. No significant differences were found in the correct‐response rates of dentists with different years of work experience. Lack of cooperation from children was considered a major obstacle for treatment. Special lectures and Internet courses were the most preferred methods of obtaining knowledge. Conclusion The results suggest that it is necessary to enhance dental trauma education for dentists in China. More attention needs to be paid to trauma in primary dentition to ensure adequate treatment for traumatized primary teeth.

“…The present study revealed data about the knowledge of students in dentistry, nursing, and medical degree programs regarding the avulsion of permanent teeth. In recent decades, studies have reported a lack of knowledge about dental avulsion by professionals already working in the health field [9,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, there is still a shortage in the literature in relation to the level of knowledge and the main emergency procedures for handling a case of tooth avulsion, among students of courses in the health field.…”

“…In addition to their technical-scientific knowledge and the experience gained in treating cases of tooth avulsion, dentists have other fundamental roles in society: namely, those of preventing its occurrence and participating in the education of the population. Only the integration of these factors could have a positive influence on the prognosis of tooth reimplantation (Manfrin et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2017).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dentists in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil, relative to the management of avulsed teeth. According to the sample calculation, 96 professionals, who were not specialists in Endodontics or oral and maxillofacial surgery, were selected by random draw. The method chosen for verifying their knowledge was the application of a questionnaire composed of multiple choice questions. The data obtained were analyzed by the Exact Fisher test. Among the results obtained, we point out that the definition of tooth avulsion was correctly answered by 99%; 50% indicated milk; 49% saliva; 40% physiological solution, and 7% water as storage media; 52% would use rigid splinting as a fixation method; and for 72% the ideal time of containment procedures would be 60 days. There was association between the years of experience of the professionals with management of cases of tooth avulsion (p = 0.04555). The authors concluded that the dentists in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, did not demonstrate good knowledge about the procedures to be adopted for management of avulsed teeth. Misunderstandings were observed relative to the appropriate method of storing the avulsed tooth and the type of splinting procedure most indicated for stabilizing the reimplanted tooth. the topic (Westphalen et al., 2007;Lima, Pereira, Swerts, and Fernandes, 2013;Skaare et al., 2015) pointed out the importance of reinforcing a continued education.Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dentists in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil, relative to the urgency conduct of avulsed teeth. Thus, the null hypothesis tested was that there is lack of knowledge by dentists relative to the procedures to be adopted in cases of dental avulsion. Material and methodsThis study was approved by the Ethics Committee on Research involving Human Beings of the University Center of Maringá (Unicesumar), Report 1,173,044.The sample universe began with the 1,130 dentists registered in the Regional Council of Dentistry of Paraná (CRO-PR), in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil. Excluded from the study were professionals registered as Specialists in Endodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, so that 745 professionals remained. A sample calculation was made considering the level of confidence of 95%, margin of error of 10%, so that a representative sample of this population was considered to be 87 professionals. Nevertheless, the authors opted to add 10% for possible losses and the final sample consisted of 96 dentists. A random draw was performed to select the professionals who participated in the study.The method of choice for verifying the knowledge of the participants involved in the study was the application of a questionnaire. This was composed of 16 multiple choice questions that contained information about the characteristics of the sample, and aspects related to procedures in cases of tooth avulsion of permanent teeth.The first contact with professionals or their...
