Assessment of knowledge on traumatized immature permanent teeth among dentists in China: a cross-sectional study

Findings from the present study revealed that the degree of knowledge among dentists in Guangxi regarding the treatment of traumatized immature permanent teeth is moderate. The findings further revealed a significant relationship between factors such as sex, education level, professional title, and the workplace of dentists and higher scores on the questionnaire (P < 0.001). THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: of the TDI treatment knowledge of dentists in Guangxi Province was found to be moderate and variable. This may limit the quality of effective treatment. However, providing information without attention to differences among dentists caused by influencing factors that significantly affect dentists' cognitions and motivations may not be successful. Educational strategies and goals should be re-evaluated, and relevant continuing education measures should be tailored to local conditions.
