Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are one of the most common dental problems in children and adolescents. Since parents are among the first to attend the scene of the accident, their knowledge of dental traumatic injuries management has a significant impact on the prognosis of these teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate parental knowledge and attitude toward dental trauma in 7-12 years old children referred to pediatric department of dental school, Golestan university of medical sciences.

In this cross-sectional study questionnaire forms were distributed among 225 parents. Questionnaire contained 4 parts: demographic characteristics, social information, knowledge regarding traumatic dental injuries and their emergency management, and prevention approach towards dental trauma. The data was collected and analyzed using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). A significance level was considered.  

The mean parental knowledge was 3.3  of 13. A significant difference was observed between parental knowledge and educational level (P-value=0/04). However, no significant difference was found between parental knowledge and age, gender and number of children. According to the results, 48% of parents had not received any information regarding dental trauma. Most of the parents (88%) were willing to attend an educational program about management of dental trauma.

Parents play an important role in control and management of children's dental injuries. According to the average knowledge score obtained in this study, parents' knowledge about dental injuries is insufficient, which emphasizes the need to increase the awareness regarding dental traumatic injuries.

Dental injuries are very common event in childhood and have the negative impacts on their life. Proper emergency management is depended on the knowledge of non-professionals, such as health care teachers’ who are present at the scene. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and self-reported practice of primary school health care teachers on the emergency management of traumatic dental injuries in Karaj in 2020.

In this cross-sectional analytic study, an anonymous online questionnaire containing questions related to demographic information, history of previous exposure to traumatic dental injuries and caregivers' practice in dealing with traumatic dental injuries was placed in health care teachers’ virtual groups. Health care teachers were given one week to complete the questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were performed to analyze the data via SPSS software version16.

A total of 189 questionnaires were completed (response rate of 80.77%). The mean score of their knowledge out of 10 achievable scores was 5.63 ± 1.98 and their mean score of practice was 4.48 ± 1.86 out of 7 scores. The results of unadjusted linear regression analysis showed that only the previous information of caregivers had an effect on their level of knowledge (p<0.001) and by adjusting the effect of demographic variables, the results of this test showed that the work experience of health care teachers had an effect on their knowledge score (p=0.009). However, the self-reported practice score of health care teachers was not affected by any of the demographic variables.

This study revealed that insufficient knowledge and self-reported practice exists among primary school teachers on emergency management of traumatic dental injuries.

Proper exposure and management of removed tooth from the alveolar sac are essential to ensure its long - term prognosis. This study aimed to assess the parents' knowledge about damaged and avulsed teeth and their immediate treatment in children aged 6 - 12 years in Zanjan. Collected data using a standard information questionnaire.

In a cross - sectional study in 1397 from all areas of Zanjan city in a systematic circular method 19 primary schools for girls were selected. A 23 - item questionnaire was distributed among all grades one through six to assess parents' awareness of how to dea l with dental trauma in these schools. Chi - square statistical test was used to analyze the data. The significance level was considered 0.05.

44.6% of parents had previous exposure to dental injuries, and 71.9% of them declared the removed tooth from the alveolar sac to be unsustainable. More than 50% go to the dentist if they notice looseness and bleeding with contusions, broken crowns and dislodged teeth. 92.9% of parents expressed their interest in training for more information on how to deal w ith dental injuries.

Parents with the diploma and university education had more information about trauma and avulsion. Most parents were unaware of the proper intermediate environment for the location of the tooth, and most parents declared th e tooth removed from the alveolar sac unsuitable.

 The prevalence of avulsed teeth is high and wrong treatment can complicate dental problems, so emergency treatment and making the right decision is crucial. This study was going to assess knowledge of general dentists regarding this issue in order to proper orientation in future education.

This descriptive-cross sectional research was done on 300 dentists who have participated in operative and oral disease congress in 2018.Volunteers answered to 11 multiple choice questions in 4 stages of very good, good, fair, poor. Dentists whose grade were in range of very good to good were considered as acceptable score. Dentists whose grade were in range of fair to poor, they were considered as unacceptable score. Findings were evaluated by chi-square analysis.

 From 300 dentists who were tested, 33% of them had acceptable point and 67% had unacceptable point. The most difficulty they had was knowing the appropriate time to start root canal treatment in mature teeth (76/7%). Insufficient knowledge was significantly higher in more experienced dentist (P=0/003) and dentists who had no experience about treatment of traumatic teeth (P < 0/00).

  It seems the amount of knowledge for treatment of avulsed teeth is low and concerning among general dentists especially those graduated from university for a long time ago, the amount of knowledge is decreased.

TDI and occlusion status have physical, psychological and social effects on children and because of the close relationship between children and their families, the effects of oral and dental diseases in children are reflected in the family. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of TDI and occlusion status on quality of life of children and families.

This descriptive analytical study was performed on 296 students in Educational Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Isfahan. The parents filled up the Family Impact Scale and Child Perception Questionnaire; in addition, in injured children WHO assessment form for TDI and occlusion status was completed by the researcher. Data collected from two questionnaires and TDI and occlusion status were analyzed with SPSS 20. Descriptive and analytical statistical indexes such as means, standard deviations, percentages, variances and relationships between quantitative and qualitative variables were analyzed with chi-squared, Mann-Whitney and LSD tests, t-test and one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05).

Most of the injured children (79.8%) had a moderate quality of life, but most of non-injured children had good quality of life (82.4%). There was a significant difference in the quality of life of the injured (59.7 ± 9.7) and non-injured (81.6 ± 15.2) groups. In addition, there was a significant difference in FIS index between the injured and non-injured groups (p value < 0.001). There was an inverse relationship between TDI and quality of life (p value = 0.02). There was a significant relationship between TDI and occlusion status (p value = 0.01), and there was no significant relationship between the quality of life of child and occlusion status (p value = 0.39).

The results showed that TDI affects quality of life of child and family, while occlusion does not have any effect on them
