BACKGROUND/AIM: Field hockey is frequently associated with oro-dental injuries. In such acute situations, appropriate management of the injury by coaches can contribute to a better clinical outcome and prognosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of hockey coaches in the Netherlands about the emergency management of dental injuries.
A 25-item questionnaire about the prevalence and management of oro-dental injuries was distributed amongst hockey coaches in the Netherlands. A sub-analysis was done regarding the knowledge on the management of dental injuries by using a 5-point scoring system.
Two hundred and six hockey coaches participated in this survey. A small majority (53%) of the coaches knew the treatment of choice in the event of a permanent tooth injury. The median score of coaches' knowledge regarding management of oro-dental injuries was 3.0 (2.0-4.0) points. Coaches with a (para)medical training/occupation, and coaches with >10 years of experience had significantly higher scores compared with the other groups (p < .01 and p = .03, respectively).
The knowledge level of hockey coaches in the Netherlands about oro-dental injuries needs to be improved, as many coaches are not aware of the appropriate first aid measures.
背景/目的：曲棍球常与口腔牙齿损伤相关。在这种急性情况下，教练对损伤的适当处理有助于获得更好的临床结果和预后。因此，本研究旨在调查荷兰曲棍球教练对口腔牙齿急症管理的认知。
向荷兰曲棍球教练分发了一份关于口腔牙齿损伤的流行情况和管理的 25 项问卷。使用 5 分制评分系统对牙齿损伤管理的知识进行了亚分析。
206 名曲棍球教练参与了这项调查。大多数（53%）教练了解在发生恒牙损伤时的治疗选择。教练对口腔牙齿急症管理的知识中位数评分是 3.0（2.0-4.0）分。具有（辅助）医疗培训/职业背景的教练和具有 10 年以上经验的教练与其他群体相比，得分显著更高（p<0.01 和 p=0.03）。
荷兰曲棍球教练对口腔牙齿损伤的认知水平有待提高，因为许多教练不知道适当的急救措施。
