Permanent teeth trauma is most frequent in children aged 7-9 years, and the primary school teachers (PSTs) are often the first to notice it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the competence in tooth avulsion clinical issues and knowledge on dental trauma of PSTs, as they can occasionally take on the role of school nurses.
Questionnaires were handed to 312 PSTs from 24 randomly selected primary schools in Zagreb, Croatia. An algorithm was designed for PST competence assessment.
Response rate amounted to 81.37% (N=255). Only 3.14% (N=8) of the PSTs would replant the permanent tooth properly and only 43.92% of them (N=112) would immediately take the child to a doctor of dental medicine. Dry tissue, as a transport medium for an avulsed tooth, was chosen by 50.20% (N=128) of the respondents. Altogether, 4.71% (N=12) of PSTs were graded as competent in case of child's tooth avulsion.
These results provided significant implications for school health, showed the educators' serious lack of knowledge in cases of dental trauma and stressed a need for continuous education of PSTs on the topic.
恒牙外伤在7 - 9岁儿童中最为常见，小学教师（PSTs）往往是最先注意到的人。本研究的目的是评估小学教师在牙齿脱位临床问题方面的能力以及对牙外伤的知识掌握情况，因为他们有时会承担起学校护士的角色。
向来自克罗地亚萨格勒布24所随机选取小学的312名小学教师发放问卷。设计了一种用于评估小学教师能力的算法。
回复率为81.37%（N = 255）。只有3.14%（N = 8）的小学教师能正确再植恒牙，其中只有43.92%（N = 112）的教师会立即带孩子去看牙科医生。50.20%（N = 128）的受访者选择干燥组织作为脱位牙齿的运输介质。总体而言，4.71%（N = 12）的小学教师在儿童牙齿脱位情况方面被评为具备能力。
这些结果对学校健康具有重要意义，表明教育工作者在牙外伤病例方面严重缺乏知识，并强调有必要就该主题对小学教师进行持续教育。
