Abstract

Background/Aim

The knowledge of dental students about managing traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) may not be uniform, depending on global location and dental education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge of undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in endodontics and pediatric dentistry at 10 dental schools in 10 countries about the 2020 International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines regarding the management of TDIs.

Materials & Methods

A previously published questionnaire was used in the current survey. It was an online survey with 12 questions regarding the management of TDIs and some additional questions regarding sociodemographic and professional profiles of the participants were added. The survey was distributed to final-year undergraduate students and postgraduate students in pediatric dentistry and endodontics from 10 dental schools. Simple frequency distributions and descriptive statistics were predominantly used to describe the data. Differences in the median percentage scores among the student categories were assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dwass–Steel–Critchlow–Fligner pairwise comparisons.

Results

A total of 347 undergraduates, 126 postgraduates in endodontics, and 72 postgraduates in pediatric dentistry from 10 dental schools participated in this survey. The postgraduates had a significantly higher percentage score for correct responses compared with the undergraduates. No significant difference was observed between the endodontic and pediatric dentistry postgraduates.

Conclusion

The knowledge possessed by undergraduate and postgraduate students concerning the IADT-recommended management of TDIs varied across the globe and some aspects were found to be deficient. This study emphasizes the critical importance of reassessing the teaching and learning activities pertaining to the management of TDIs.

根据 2020 年国际牙科创伤学会指南，了解牙科本科生和研究生对处理牙科创伤的认识：对来自 10 个国家的 10 所牙科院校的在线调查

背景/目的牙科学生对处理牙外伤（TDI）的知识可能不尽相同，这取决于全球的地理位置和牙科教育。本研究旨在评估10个国家10所牙科学校牙髓病学和儿童牙科专业的本科生和研究生对2020年国际牙科创伤协会（IADT）TDIs管理指南的了解程度。这是一份在线调查问卷，包含12个有关TDI管理的问题，还增加了一些有关参与者社会人口学和专业概况的问题。调查对象是来自 10 所牙科学校的儿童牙科和牙髓病学专业的应届本科生和研究生。简单的频率分布和描述性统计主要用于描述数据。采用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验和 Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner 配对比较来评估学生类别之间百分比中位数得分的差异。结果共有来自 10 所牙科学校的 347 名本科生、126 名根管科研究生和 72 名儿童牙科研究生参与了此次调查。与本科生相比，研究生的回答正确率明显更高。结论全球各地的本科生和研究生对国际牙科医师协会推荐的TDIs管理方法的了解程度不同，有些方面还存在不足。这项研究强调了重新评估有关 TDIs 管理的教学和学习活动的极端重要性。
