Sažetak
Introduction: Dental trauma in children is common problem and everyone who works with them should be able to provide proper care at the site of accident. This study evaluated knowledge of dental trauma emergency management among students’ who should be capable of managing such injuries in their future professional work. Material and methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted on 679 students from five different studies (152 dental students, 135 medical students, 130 preschool education students, 128 teachers’ education students, and 134 physical education students). The obtained data were analysed by the Student t - test or one - way ANOVA, with Tukey’s post-hoc test with the level of significance set at P < 0.05. Results: Dental medicine students have shown the best results, compared with medical, physical education, preschool education and teacher’s education students (6.75 ± 2.17 vs 4.32 ± 1.67, 3.69 ± 1.67, 3.38 ± 1.76 and 3.05 ± 1.55, respectively ; P ≤ 0.001). As expected, better knowledge was demonstrated by respondent who had been educated on the dental trauma topic (6.78 ± 2.23 vs 3.67 ± 1.65, P ≤ 0.001). While, there is no statistically significant difference in knowledge among respondents depending on whether they have had personal experience with dental trauma (4.58 ± 2.17 vs 4.25 ± 2.26, P = 0.110). Conclusion: Based on the results of this survey, can be concluded that studied students have limited knowledge regarding dental injuries and their emergency treatment procedures. The obtained data emphasize the importance of additional education of all professions that may be encountered with dental trauma injures with the aim of improving the outcomes of tooth trauma treatment.
