Abstract
The nature and complexity of dental trauma in children vary widely. In nearly all cases, prompt and appropriate management can significantly minimise the distress associated, and improve the prognosis of many of the resulting injuries. Often these injuries occur in school environment therefore, the perception of school teacher towards these is crucial to prognosis. The most serious tooth injury is the tooth avulsion. Hence the present study was planned among school teachers to assess knowledge towards the emergency management of avulsed tooth and compare the level of knowledge of school teachers in Jazan & Dammam region of Saudi Arabia. This cross sectional study was conducted among 111 school teachers. The questionnaire comprised of stemmed questions to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding management of traumatic tooth avulsion. Around three quarter of the study group from Dammam region had received first aid training while merely 10% from Jazan had received training. Around half of the study population from Jazan was not in favour of permanent tooth reimplantion. Knowledge regarding emergency management of avulsed tooth is insufficient.
