Brief Summary:
Aim of the study This study intends to evaluate medical residents and interns fundamental knowledge and attitude regarding the management of TDIs in Egypt
Detailed Description:
II Introduction
Scientific background
Statement of the problem Violence sports auto accidents and falls are the most frequent causes of traumatic dental injuries TDIs which are regarded as the most serious oral health issue affecting children It has been reported that physicians are the first who assist patients with TDIs In hospitals patients typically anticipate receiving care from emergency department doctors Thus before referring patients to a dentist for follow-up care physicians are typically obliged to handle the emergency therapy phase and stabilize acute TDIs
Global studies found that pediatricians and even emergency room doctors lacked the knowledge to manage TDIs This might be explained that emergency room doctors might not believe that dental emergencies are one of the responsibilities of the emergency room staff Thus proposed changing the medical curricula to include more knowledge and expertise for the management of TDIs
The knowledge and attitude of medical residents and interns who will treat TDIs should be evaluated However multiple studies have found that medical students had little awareness of TDIs with the majority of them between 70 and 90 percent claiming that their undergraduate curricula did not include any formal instruction in TDIs Additionally the majority of students felt that understanding TDIs was not essential for their future employment
Review of literature
Dental traumatology includes the study of acute dental trauma involving injury to the teeth gums and jaw bones Children and adolescents frequently sustain dental injuries which is considered to be a serious public dental health issue Traumatic dental injuries are considered the second most common dental issue worldwide with dental caries being the first with a frequency of permanent dentition of 152 and primary dentition of 227
According to reports dental trauma occurs more frequently than non-oral traumas especially in the first 10 years of life In Egypt the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries represents 10 for primary dentition and 146 in permanent dentition Traumatic dental injury TDI is an impact injury to the teeth andor supporting tissues that can be accidental or purposeful It cannot be anticipated and frequently requires emergency care due to its nature Although it can happen at any age the majority of TDI occurs in children
According to literature reviews between one-third and one-fourth of kids in the primary dentition age range experience TDIs Parents and kids may find this issue upsetting and it may also have negative psychological aesthetic and bodily effects Dental trauma is frequently linked to sports falls and collisions with persons or objects all of which are frequent occurrences in childrens daily lives The primary location for TDI is at home followed by preschool or school and outside
The two steps of the treatment for TDIs are immediate emergency care and follow-up To reduce the possibility of short-term and long-term negative outcomes proper care must be provided during the whole treatment process Dental trauma therapy is crucial in the short term to contract the pain restore oral function and appearance decrease dental anxiety and prevent infections
A lack of knowledge regarding such injuries and the con- sequent failure to provide adequate treatment may lead to functional deficits and aesthetic defects especially in growing patients As a result articles published in the literature of the last five years on the prevention first aid and certification of dental trauma in children have been considered Its crucial for medical professionals working in hospital emergency rooms to be knowledgeable about and efficient in treating TDI It is essential for medical professionals to be able to provide adequate and appropriate emergency care to stabilize dental injuries and dramatically increase the survival rate of the affected tooth because the majority of TDI victims present to emergency departments or general medical practice surgeries
