Abstract

Children of all ages frequently suffer from traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), which can seriously impair function, appearance, and mental health by breaking, moving, or losing teeth. Males are twice as likely as females to suffer from dental trauma at school, affecting over 25% of children. The upper central incisors are most commonly impacted with a high frequency between the ages of 8 and 10 years. This study aimed to determine the dental attitudes and knowledge of dental professionals in Riyadh regarding the treatment of traumatic injuries. A survey was used for this cross-sectional study of dental care in Riyadh. 450 dentists participated in the study using a straightforward random sample technique. As an element of this research, a questionnaire method was created that included questions on demographics as well as knowledge and comprehension of oral traumatic injuries. The average score for total knowledge was 7.11 ± 2.90. The findings showed that the mean knowledge was significantly affected by the availability of continuous dental trauma training sessions (P = 0.039). Dentists' general understanding of how to treat dental injuries is adequate, and their training has a great impact.
