Abstract
Background One of the urgent problems of dentistry is complex therapy of acute dental trauma in children. This is due to the numerous difficulties in the treatment of teeth in traumatized children, low efficiency of therapy and frequent development of complications. The effectiveness of treatment of children with a traumatic tooth, as well as the frequency and nature of the development of complications depends heavily on the knowledge of population about the nature of the course and emergency care of this pathology. Objectives The purpose of the study was to determine the level of knowledge of various groups of the population about the methods of prevention and emergency care for acute dental trauma in children. Methods During the study 539 people were examined, including 361 parents aged 22 to 72, 96 children aged 5 to 18 and 82 students of the 1st and 2nd year of the USMU stomatology faculty. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out with the help of STATISTICA v12 statistical analysis software package. To analyze each question, the Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) was used, to determine the differences, the Student's t-test (p⩽0.05). Results According to the results of the questionnaire, only ~ 29% of all respondents note the time of going to the dentist with the "knocked out tooth" as 1 hour. When asked about permanent tooth replacement, only 32.4% of adults, 19.5% students and 27% children gave correct answers. The majority of respondents do not know about the correct choice of the transporting media for avulsed tooth: in the group of parents the most popular choice was antiseptic (12.2%), in the group of children - a clean handkerchief (18.8%), about a third of all respondents found it difficult to choosing the right answer. Conclusions In general, the level of sanitary knowledge of various population groups in Yekaterinburg about dental trauma in children is not enough. Correlation between the receipt of information in the past and the success of answers to questions about dental trauma is weak or absent. The need for a knowledge of the fundamentals of assistance in the case of dental trauma by educators is extremely high.
