Knowledge and practice of emergency doctors regarding traumatic dental injuries

Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries (TDI's) are an important public health problem in children and adolescents worldwide. The emergency center (EC) serves as the spearhead to the hospital as it has to deal with a broad spectrum of patients with different ailments and injuries. The level of knowledge and doctors' practice at emergency centers (EC's) regarding TDI's has a direct impact on patient outcomes. The current literature reports that EC doctors have insufficient knowledge of the management of TDI's.
