dc.description.abstractObjectives The objective of this study was to compare the level of knowledge of parents of children with permanent dental avulsion experience with that of parents of children without permanent dental avulsion experience. Materials and methods The present study was conducted on a sample of parents of children who presented to the Department of Paedodontics at the Inonu University Faculty of Dentistry between 2019 and 2024 with the complaint of permanent tooth avulsion. A control group of 60 parents was also included in the study. A questionnaire was administered to the parents, including inquiries regarding their sociodemographic characteristics and experiences with emergency interventions for permanent tooth avulsion injuries. The section of the questionnaire pertaining to permanent tooth avulsion injuries was evaluated using a scale ranging from 0 to 17 points. The scores obtained by the two groups were then subjected to comparative analysis. The data were meticulously documented and subjected to rigorous analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 22.0 (IBM, Armonk, N.Y., USA). Results Of the 60 participants, 33 (55%) identified as female and 27 (45%) identified as male. A survey of parents of children without permanent dental avulsion experience revealed that all respondents reported a lack of knowledge regarding first aid interventions for permanent dental avulsion. In contrast, a significant proportion (80%) of parents of children who experienced permanent tooth avulsion reported that they received guidance from their dentist after the event. A statistically significant difference was observed in the knowledge level of parents of children with permanent dental avulsion experience compared to parents of children without permanent dental avulsion experience (P < 0.001). Conclusions Parents of children who experience permanent dental avulsion have a higher level of knowledge about the emergency management of dental avulsed.
