. There is a deficiency of research on orthodontic movements and management strategies for traumatized teeth to avoid further treatment complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of Lithuanian orthodontists about dental trauma and the orthodontic management of traumatized teeth. . Lithuanian orthodontists and orthodontic residents were introduced to the purpose, objectives and questionnaire of the study. The questionnaire was developed based on demographics, the participants' personal experience, specific questions about dental traumas and orthodontic treatment tactics for patients with a history of dental trauma. . A total of 54 participants (42 orthodontists and 12 orthodontic residents) completed the survey. The overall response rate was 42.9%. The results of the survey revealed that the largest share of the study participants-61%-stated that they had treated traumatized teeth just a few times during the whole practice. Briefly, 53.7% of respondents inquired about the dental trauma history only if they saw signs of complications. The results of the survey revealed that the frequency of correct answers to questions about dental trauma was 63.7%, and that about the orthodontic treatment of traumatized teeth was 54.9%. It is worth noting that one-third of physicians pointed out the lack of information about the orthodontic management of traumatized teeth. The knowledge of Lithuanian orthodontists and orthodontic residents about dental injuries and the orthodontic treatment of traumatized teeth is insufficient. Further educational training is recommended.
目前，针对外伤性牙齿的正畸移动和管理策略的研究还存在不足，以避免进一步的治疗并发症。本研究旨在评估立陶宛正畸医生对牙外伤的认识以及外伤性牙齿的正畸处理。
向立陶宛正畸医生和正畸住院医师介绍了研究的目的、目标和问卷。该问卷是基于人口统计学、参与者的个人经验、有关牙齿外伤和有牙齿外伤史的患者正畸治疗策略的具体问题制定的。
共有 54 名参与者（42 名正畸医生和 12 名正畸住院医师）完成了调查。总的回复率为 42.9%。调查结果显示，研究参与者中有 61%的人表示，在整个实践过程中，他们只治疗过几次外伤性牙齿。简而言之，53.7%的受访者只有在看到并发症迹象时才会询问牙齿外伤史。调查结果显示，关于牙外伤的问题，正确答案的频率为 63.7%，关于外伤性牙齿的正畸治疗的正确答案频率为 54.9%。值得注意的是，三分之一的医生指出缺乏关于外伤性牙齿正畸管理的信息。
立陶宛正畸医生和正畸住院医师对牙外伤和外伤性牙齿的正畸治疗的了解不足。建议进行进一步的教育培训。
