Abstract

Objective: to identify the knowledge of parents/ guardians on how to proceed in the event of dental trauma. Method: observational descriptive study performed using printed questionnaires applied to 80 parents/guardians of children assisted in the classes of Children’s Clinic and Orthodontics I and II at Faculdade Avantis. The data were analyzed descriptively and with chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. Results: the prevalence of parents who had never received instructions on how to deal with dental trauma was 75%, which was associated with the answers to the questions: “Would you know how to prepare the tooth?” (p = 0.001) and “Have you ever experienced any dental trauma situation?” (p = 0.047). Socioeconomic variables including education and income, and the self-perception on the procedures in case of dental trauma were not associated with having received information about how to proceed in a dental trauma situation according to the self-report of parents/guardians. Most parents had never received information and did not know how to deal with a potential dental trauma. Conclusion:
RFO UPF, Passo Fundo, v. 24, n. 2, p. 220-228, maio/ago. 2019 227
having received information on how to deal with dental trauma is associated with having experienced a dental trauma situation and with how to prepare the tooth to take it to the dentist.
