AIM
This study aimed to assess general dental practitioners' (GDPs) knowledge within the United Arab Emirates (UAE) regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), and to compare their level of knowledge with that of paediatric dentists (PDs).
METHODS
Dentists were asked to complete a two-part questionnaire (seven questions covering demographic data and 13 questions about trauma cases scenarios) in electronic and paper format. A total of 296 returned questionnaires were analysed to identify GDPs' knowledge in managing TDIs, and to compare the score of GDPs' knowledge with that of PDs'.
RESULTS
Out of a total score of 13, the mean knowledge score (MKnS) for GDPs was 4.87±1.82 (only 37.5% of the 13 questions were answered correctly) while the MKnS of paediatric dentists was 5.56±1.47 (with 42.8% correct answers); both scores indicated poor knowledge and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.005).
CONCLUSION
There was poor knowledge of TDIs among the surveyed UAE GDPs as well as the PDs, although PDs scored higher, indicating the need for further training.
目的
本研究旨在评估阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）的普通牙科医生（GDPs）在创伤性牙外伤（TDIs）管理方面的知识，并比较他们的知识水平与儿科牙医（PDs）的知识水平。
方法
牙医被要求以电子和纸质形式填写两部分问卷（涵盖人口统计学数据的七个问题和 13 个关于创伤病例场景的问题）。共分析了 296 份返回的问卷，以确定 GDPs 管理 TDIs 的知识，并比较 GDPs 的知识得分与 PDs 的知识得分。
结果
在总分 13 分中，GDPs 的平均知识得分（MKnS）为 4.87±1.82（只有 37.5%的问题回答正确），而儿科牙医的 MKnS 为 5.56±1.47（正确答案为 42.8%）；两个分数都表明知识水平较差，且差异具有统计学意义（p=0.005）。
结论
在所调查的阿联酋 GDPs 和 PDs 中，TDIs 的知识都很差，尽管 PDs 的得分较高，但这表明需要进一步培训。
