“…Various studies have observed insufficient knowledge regarding dental injuries and their emergency treatment procedures in different professional groups who work with children, such as teachers, preschool teachers, physical education teachers and physicians ( 4 - 9 ). Similar results were obtained when medical students, physical education students and dental students were surveyed ( 3 , 8 , 10 , 11 ).…”

Objectives Dental trauma among children is a common problem, and everyone who works with them needs to possess appropriate knowledge and skills to provide proper care at the site of the accident. The aim was to evaluate the knowledge of emergency management of dental trauma among students who should be capable of managing such injuries in their future career. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional survey regarding dental trauma emergency management was conducted on 679 students from five different studies using a questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by the Student t-test or one - way ANOVAusing the Tukey's post-hoc test and multiple linear regression analysis (p<0.05). Results The total knowledge score regarding the emergency management of dental trauma among examined student was 4.32±2.25 (max 10). The positive association of the knowledge score was observed with the age of student (β=0.722, p≤0.001). A similar relation was observed depending on whether they received dental injuries training during their academic education (β=2.365, p≤0.001), as well as students’ assessment of the importance of knowledge regarding dental trauma emergency management (β=0.433, p≤0.001). Conclusions It can be concluded that the surveyed students have limited knowledge regarding dental injuries and their emergency management procedures. The obtained data emphasized the importance of additional education of all professions that may encounter dental trauma injuries to improve the outcomes of dental trauma treatment.

“…The prognosis of avulsion injuries is often dependent on the decisions and actions taken by attending first‐aiders and inevitably relies on their knowledge of factors such as urgency, manipulation, replantation and transportation. Despite their ideal positioning, school professionals have largely been shown to lack the knowledge and skills required to effectively handle such situations in international cohorts . A similar lack of knowledge in this regard has been found among parents, physical education graduates, fire‐fighters, emergency department physicians and nurses …”

Background/aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of school professionals regarding the emergency management of dental avulsion. Methods This cross‐sectional study utilised a self‐administered, pilot‐tested questionnaire for school staff from primary schools. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis – the prevalence and univariate associations between a categorical outcome and the variables under consideration, were evaluated using Pearson’s Chi‐squared test. Results This survey yielded a response rate of 43.5% (n = 313). Approximately 60% of participants held valid first‐aid certificates and 23% had received avulsion advice previously. Over 80% of participants expressed an unwillingness to replant an avulsed tooth, and over 90% believed that there should be greater awareness in this area. This unwillingness to replant was influenced by respondents’ age (x2 = 8.13 df = 3, P = 0.043) and receiving advice previously (x2 = 13.15, df = 1, P < 0.001). Under‐preparedness was related to years of experience (x2 = 15.03, df = 5, P = 0.010), first‐aid training (x2 = 6.41, df = 1, P = 0.011) and receiving advice previously (x2 = 43.47, df = 1, P < 0.001). It was also evident that first‐aid training positively influenced appropriate dental referral in the management pathway (x2 = 10.49, df = 1, P = 0.001). Conclusion This study suggests that there is an inadequate level of knowledge on the appropriate management of dental avulsion injuries amongst primary school professionals in Australia.

“…Prognóstico e proservação O prognóstico na avulsão dentária muitas vezes é incerto; alguns casos restabelecem a inserção normal, outros se anquilosam e alguns fracassam 41 . No caso de avulsão, o dente deve ser recolocado no alvéolo o mais rápido possível, sem manipular a raiz 42 . Quando colocado antes de 30 minutos, o procedimento tem boa porcentagem de sucesso; depois de 90 minutos, a porcentagem de sucesso atinge somente 7% dos casos 43 .…”

Objetivo: descrever uma revisão da literatura que apresente as principais consequências que podem ocorrer quando o dente avulsionado é reimplantado de forma tardia, proporcionando um prognóstico desfavorável. Revisão de literatura: a avulsão dental é uma lesão traumática que se caracteriza pelo completo deslocamento do dente de seu alvéolo, acarretando danos tanto às estruturas de suporte do elemento dental quanto às estruturas pulpares. A permanência extraoral do elemento dental avulsionado por períodos longos ou em meios de armazenamento inadequados pode provocar danos adicionais. Considerações finais: as lesões de inserções são as principais consequências da pós-avulsão dentária, isso devido a uma ruptura do ligamento periodontal, com uma secagem excessiva antes do reimplante, danificando as células do ligamento periodontal, o que, por sua vez, provoca uma resposta inflamatória exacerbada em uma ampla área da superfície radicular.Palavras-chaves: Avulsão dentária. Reimplante dentário. Traumatismos dentários. IntroduçãoO traumatismo dentário apresenta-se como um problema de saúde pública comumente encontrado entre crianças e adolescentes, sendo que a avulsão dental compreende 16% desses traumas 1 . Isso gera um elevado impacto psicossocial, com necessidade de tratamentos de alto custo, já que, aos gastos iniciais do atendimento emergencial, somam-se aqueles de controle pós-tratamento, que pode se estender por vários anos após o trauma. Entre as principais causas, podemos citar os acidentes automobilísticos, os esportes de contato e a violência urbana 2 .O reimplante de dentes tem sido considerado como uma medida temporária, já que muitos dentes não resistem à reabsorção radicular que ocorre a partir da reabsorção superficial do cemento, podendo levar ao reparo ou à reabsorção por substituição, que resultará em anquilose progressiva 3 . A necrose isquêmica da polpa também pode ocorrer, seguida de regeneração ou degeneração pulpar 4 .Reabsorção inflamatória, reabsorção por substituição e esfoliação do dente são complicações potenciais quando dentes avulsionados são reimplantados; na maioria dos casos, é possível que o dente acometido apresente necrose pulpar, em função do rompimento do feixe vásculo-nervoso 5 . No que diz respeito a ligamento periodontal e cemento, as principais consequências são: reabsorção superficial do cemento acelular, seguida de reparo normal do
