| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Dental trauma is an important and common oral health problem, the prognosis of which varies, depending on the time elapsing. This study was carried out to evaluate levels of knowledge of dental trauma and avulsion management among senior students in different faculties. Methods: The sample size was determined using G*Power software. A 21-item questionnaire was sent to senior students via e-mail or social media. A standardized scoring method was used to assess the knowledge level. Descriptive statistics, and the chi square and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for data evaluation. Results: Three hundred thirty seven senior university students (106 dentistry, 122 medicine and 109 education) were enrolled in the study. The response rate was 76%. Most of the participants stated that dental injuries constitute an emergency condition (93.2%). In terms of median knowledge scores, the university students in the four groups were ranked as dentistry> medicine> education. The primary tooth was identified at a higher rate than the permanent tooth in cases of avulsion. Discussion and Conclusion: In general, senior university students’ knowledge concerning avulsion emergencies is not at the desired level. Awareness of trauma management in the undergraduate curriculum needs to be improved as a matter of urgency. | |
