Objectives: Dental trauma is one of the important oral health problems in adolescent and childhood. This cross-sectional study assessed the level of knowledge of Croatian pediatricians concerning the management of dental trauma. Materials and methods: A questioner based study investigated personal and professional characteristics, knowledge and experience with dental injuries among 186 pediatricians. The data were evaluated by the Student t-test or one-way ANOVA, with Tukey’s post-hoc. The level of significance was set at P≤0.05. Results: The overall mean self-reported knowledge of dental trauma was 3.58±1.53, with a maximum possible score of seven. Better knowledge was observed among male pediatricians (3.89±1.44 vs 3.35±1.56, P=0.016), those who witnessed dental injuries (3.95±1.44 vs 3.28±154, P=0.003), and who had more than ten years of pediatric practices compared to those who had less (3.98± 1.60 vs 3.26±1.49, P=0.027). Results of multiple linear regression analysis showed significant dependence of measured overall dental injuries knowledge score with pediatrician’s practice settings (B=-0.254, P=0.002) and the number of treated patients per day (B=-0.187, P=0.030). Conclusion: Pediatricians had moderate knowledge regarding preliminary care of traumatic dental injuries. Dental trauma emergency management should be recommended as part of their educational training.
