Abstract (english)
Objective: 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. Material and Methods: Questionnaires were handed to 312 PSTs from 24 randomly selected primary schools in Zagreb, Croatia. An algorithm was designed for PST competence assessment. Results: 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. Conclusion: 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.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj: Trauma trajne denticije najčešća je kod djece u dobi od 7 do 9 godina te su učitelji prvi koji je uočavaju. Avulzija je potpuno izbijanje zuba iz zubne alveole i najteži je oblik dentalne traume. S obzirom na to da učitelji osnovnih škola u takvim slučajevima najčešće preuzimaju ulogu školske medicinske sestre, svrha istraživanja bila je procijeniti njihovu sposobnost pri zbrinjavanju te znanje o avulziji zuba. Materijal i metode: Uručeno je 312 anketnih upitnika učiteljima iz 24 nasumično odabrane osnovne škole u Zagrebu. Izrađen je algoritam za procjenu sposobnosti zbrinjavanja djeteta. Rezultati: Odziv ispitanika iznosio je 81,37 % (N = 255). Samo 3,14 % učitelja ispravno bi replantiralo trajni zub, a 49,92 % odvelo bi učenika u najkraćem roku doktoru dentalne medicine. Polovina ispitanika (50,2 %; N = 128) spremila bi izbijeni zub u rupčić. Sveukupno je samo 4,71 % ispitanika (N = 12) ocijenjeno sposobnima za zbrinjavanje avulzije trajnoga zuba kod djece. Zaključak: Rezultati istraživanja otkrili su nedostatke u organizaciji školskog zdravstva, ozbiljan nedostatak znanja učitelja osnovnih škola te upozorili na nužnost kontinuirane izobrazbe učitelja kad je riječ o toj temi.
