About this study
Official title: The Degree of Knowledge and Attitude of Egyptian Physicians Regarding Emergency Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries: Cross Sectional Study
This study intends to evaluate physicians' fundamental knowledge and attitude regarding the management of TDIs in Egypt. A convenience sample of physicians will be enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and they will be asked to complete a validated questionnaire. The questionnaire includes demographic questions, two case scenarios involving crown fractures and the avulsion of permanent teeth, and self-evaluation questions.
Read the detailed description
Several epidemiological studies continue to show significant levels of dental trauma in many countries. In industrialized countries, about one in five children experience a traumatic dental injury (TDI) to permanent teeth before leaving school.
Primary care providers (e.g., family physicians, pediatricians, emergency medicine physicians and nurses) can play an important role in offering primary care following dentofacial trauma, especially for rural populations with limited access to dentists.
Several global studies indicate that physicians and even pediatricians lacked the emergency management knowledge to deal with traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). Emphasizing the fact that medical students are not well educated or trained to manage TDIs.
To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted in Egypt to investigate physicians' knowledge and attitudes addressing traumatic dental injury.
