Abstract

This article reviews the available literature on the investigation of dentists' management of dental trauma injuries and their perceptions of barriers to providing care. The levels of knowledge demonstrated by surveys of dentists were not high and dentists perceive inadequate financial remuneration as the main barrier to trauma management.
