目的：了解牙科医生对年轻恒切牙创伤急救知识的掌握情况，探讨治疗障碍。设计：对英国西北约克郡和亨伯赛德郡的1023名全科牙科医生(GDPs)和社区牙医(CDO)进行问卷调查。6个问题询问参与者的一般信息(即职业、年龄、性别、毕业年份、关于牙科创伤的培训或教育以及提供紧急护理的意愿)，10个问题与牙冠骨折、牙根骨折、脱位和撕脱伤的紧急治疗有关，最后一个问题询问是否存在任何公认的治疗障碍。结果。回收问卷724份，应答率为71%，表明牙科医生对儿童牙槽骨创伤的急救知识掌握程度较低。与年长的牙医相比，CDO明显比GDPS更有见识，年轻和新毕业的牙医也是如此。GDPS认为，治疗儿童的困难和英国国家卫生服务收费不足是治疗的重要障碍。参加牙科创伤继续教育课程的牙医比未参加的牙科医生对牙科创伤的急救知识了解程度较低。结论：总体上，牙科医生对儿童牙槽创伤的急救知识掌握不足。指出应更加重视这一领域的本科生和研究生教育。
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to evaluate dentists' knowledge of the emergency treatment of traumatic injuries to young permanent incisors, and to investigate barriers to treatment.DESIGN: A closed-ended questionnaire was sent to 1023 general dental practitioners (GDPs) and community dental officers (CDOs) in West/North Yorkshire and Humberside, UK.METHODS: The questionnaire comprised 17 questions. Six questions asked for general information about the participants (i.e. profession, age, gender, year of graduation, training or education on dental trauma, and willingness to provide emergency care), 10 were relevant to the emergency treatment of crown fractures, root fractures, luxation and avulsion injuries, and the last question queried any perceived barriers to treatment. Results. Seven hundred and twenty-four questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 71%, and these indicated that dentists' knowledge of the emergency treatment of dentoalveolar trauma in children was inadequate. The CDOs were significantly more knowledgeable than the GDPs, as were younger and more recently graduated dentists compared with older ones. The GDPs regarded the difficulty of treating children and the inadequate fees of the UK National Health Service as important barriers to treatment. Dentists who attended continuing dental education courses on dental traumatology had a more thorough knowledge than those who did not.CONCLUSION: Overall, the dentists' knowledge of the emergency treatment of dentoalveolar trauma in children was inadequate. Greater emphasis on undergraduate and postgraduate education in this area is indicated.
