Abstract

Aim: This is the quantitative part of a study that aimed to evaluate the knowledge and experience of orthodontists in managing the orthodontic treatments of traumatized teeth.

Material and method: The study was divided into 4 stages: first, a structured interview; second, face validity; third, test-retest; and fourth, administering the questionnaire. The first three stages aimed at developing the questionnaire, while the fourth consisted of the application of the instrument in a sample of 395 orthodontists properly licensed with the Regional Councils of Dentistry of Brazil. The questionnaire was sent to these orthodontists through the social media platform Instagram.

Results: It was found that the majority of participants had encountered this type of emergency in their offices, had moderate knowledge of the subject, and were successful in their orthodontic treatments. Furthermore, almost all professionals recognized the importance of additional training, and only a small portion of them were familiar with any care protocols for these cases.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that the orthodontists had limited experience and a moderate knowledge about the orthodontic management of traumatized teeth.
