牙外伤的发生率很高，其对牙功能和美观的影响值得全科医师重视。本研究旨在评估一般牙科医生（GDPs）对牙齿撕脱及其预防指南的知识水平。2006年8月至11月，向264名国内生产总值发放了21项调查问卷。获得的数据进行了统计分析，使用描述性分析和皮尔逊卡方检验，以确定相关知识的紧急治疗和牙医从公立或私立牙科学校和多年的经验之间的关联。结果表明，参与者表现出适当的知识，有关程序的情况下，牙齿撕脱及其预防。正确答案的数量相对于受伤部位的推荐治疗而言较低。储存介质，准备的牙槽和夹板的时间，为接收撕脱牙收到了大量的正确答案。在撕脱牙的情况下，多年的经验与损伤部位的推荐治疗之间存在统计学显著相关性（KH 2 = 9.384，P = 0.009）。总之，这项调查显示，适当的知识，牙齿撕脱的管理和预防的调查牙医。调查结果还表明，牙医和人口之间的沟通是不够的，特别是关于高风险和接触性运动的从业者。
A high prevalence of dental trauma exists and its effects on function and esthetics deserve the attention of general dentists. The aim of this study was to assess the level of general dental practitioners' (GDPs) knowledge about guidelines for dental avulsion and its prevention using a questionnaire. The 21-item questionnaire was distributed among 264 GDPs and the survey was realized between August-November 2006. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using descriptive analysis and Pearson's Chi-square test to determine associations between knowledge regarding emergency treatment and dentists from public or private dental schools and years of experience. The results showed that the participants exhibited appropriate knowledge concerning procedures in cases of tooth avulsion and its prevention. The number of correct answers was low in relation to recommended treatment at the site of injury. Storage medium, preparation of the alveolus and splint time for receiving the avulsed tooth received a high number of correct answers. One statistically significant association between years of experience and recommended treatment at the site of the injury in the case an avulsed tooth (KH2 = 9.384, P = 0.009). In conclusion, this survey showed appropriate knowledge of dental avulsion management and its prevention among the surveyed dentists. The findings also showed that communication between dentists and the population is deficient, especially concerning practitioners of high risk and contact sports.
