Abstract

An assessment was made of the level of knowledge of two-year students of the Faculty of Dentistry on issues of providing assistance to children with acute dental trauma.

Materials and methods. A study was conducted based on the results of a survey of 314 students of the USMU Faculty of Dentistry. The questionnaire included 9 questions divided into three blocks. The questions from the first block were used to assess students’ awareness of dental trauma in children, the second block – to assess students’ knowledge of dental fractures in children, the third block – to assess students’ knowledge of dental dislocations in children.

Results. Fifth-year students have more knowledge on dental trauma in children than second-year students. Most fifthyear students (50 to 80%) answered most questions correctly, while in the group of second-year students, correct answers were received from 50% of respondents or less.

Conclusions. The level of knowledge of students of the USMU Faculty of Dentistry on dental trauma is insufficient. It seems promising to introduce additional disciplines and modules on dental trauma in childhood into the educational process of students of all courses of the Faculty of Dentistry, and for students to conduct health education work among the population.
