“…The options mentioned in the questionnaire included ice, child's mouth, child's hand and paper/tissue/clean handkerchief. Urban teachers suggested child's hand can be used as the storage/transport media which shows us the lack of knowledge among urban teachers about the storage medium as also noted by Skele,[15] and majority of teachers had preferred "ice" as better storage/transport medium [Table 4b] which can be related to the popular use of ice for transportation of meat, fish or human organs and accidentally detached limbs.…”

Aim:To assess awareness of school teachers concerning the emergency management of traumatized teeth.Materials and Methods:This is a prospective intervention study conducted with 1000 teachers (500 urban, 500 rural) randomly selected from the entire government and private, primary (elementary) as well as secondary (high) schools of Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Study was carried out in three phases; the first phase being an initial survey conducted to assess the existing knowledge of teachers on management of traumatic injuries by using self-administered questionnaire. This was followed by a comprehensive informative promotion regarding the initial management of the traumatic dental injuries for the teachers. A post-promotion follow-up review was conducted 3 months later to evaluate the effect of the informative promotion, using the same set of questionnaires. Study was completed over a period of 9 months.Statistical Methods:Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 14.0, and Chi-square test was used to compare the knowledge of teachers prior to and after the informative promotion. The level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05.Results:The teachers’ overall knowledge with respect to the emergency management of the traumatic injuries was deficient and significant differences were found in the knowledge of teachers before and after the informative promotion.Conclusion:Informative promotion programs to improve the knowledge and awareness of this group of community, who are generally the first line of assistance in case of dental trauma in schools, are mandatory.

“…A study undertaken in selected parts of Norway in 2006 revealed poor knowledge and awareness of TDIs among present and prospective teachers. It also documented that information on managing TDIs in schools and educational institutions was scarce and that prospective teachers had not learnt about TDIs in their curriculum.…”

-Aims: To identify existing guidelines for managing traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in the schools of Bergen, to ascertain the frequency of occurrence of such injuries, and to estimate the need for further information among teachers and school administrators. Material and methods: The study, undertaken among teachers and school administrators of elementary and lower secondary schools in Bergen municipality, was questionnairebased and included a cross section of staff. The structured short questionnaire included items registering TDIs during 2009, existence of routines or guidelines for managing TDIs, previous relevant training, and request for TDI education or information. The statistical methods included frequency tables and logistic regression analysis. Results: The response rate was 73%. The incidence proportion of TDIs was measured to 0.74% of children at risk, varying according to children's classes (peak at third class: 1.68% of children in the population). No schools had adequate written guidelines for handling TDIs. Previous education on the subject was scarce. In 20 schools, there was no perceived need for TDI-related education or information. The schools' routines for TDI reporting, who was in charge of the reporting, acquired TDI education and expressed need for TDI information or education, did not influence the number of reported TDI cases. Conclusion: This study has produced reliable information that schools in the municipality of Bergen could improve ways of reporting and managing TDIs. As teachers with skills in handling TDIs could help to improve the prognosis for injured teeth, some types of educational intervention in schools should be launched.
