Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of undergraduate students of health care courses (dentistry, medicine and nursing) from a public higher education institution about the avulsion of permanent teeth, as well as on emergency procedures to be taken in the occurrence of this type of injury. Information was collected through self-administered structured questionnaire containing personal data, previous experiences, knowledge about dental avulsion and about the main procedures to be taken in the occurrence of this type of trauma. Descriptive and statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square test. The significance level adopted was 5% (p <0.05). The sample, selected for convenience, was composed of 390 students from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, 154 of them dentistry students, 93 nursing students and 143 medicine students. Less than half of interviewees reported having previously received any information about dentoalveolar trauma, and the majority who received some information were dentistry students (p <0.01). The majority also had no previous experience with this type of trauma, with no difference between courses (p≥0.05). The study revealed that there is lack of knowledge about the management of avulsion of permanent teeth by evaluated students, especially those enrolled in medicine and nursing courses. Thus, there is great need for the development of education, information and training programs emphasizing the emergency treatment for dental avulsion aimed at students of these courses.
