Effectiveness of an Interactive Digital Learning Platform (Dental Trauma Guide) on Knowledge and Clinical Decision-Making Skills in Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries Among a Group of Dental Interns
Effectiveness of an Interactive Digital Learning Platform (Dental Trauma Guide) on Knowledge and Clinical Decision-Making Skills in Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries Among a Group of Dental Interns A Randomized Controlled Trial
Statement of the problem:
Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are among the most common dental emergencies encountered in clinical practice and represent a significant burden in both primary and secondary healthcare settings. These injuries frequently affect children and young adults and may lead to long-term functional, aesthetic, and psychological consequences if not managed appropriately. The global burden of TDIs is considerable, with epidemiological studies indicating that a large proportion of individuals experience dental trauma during their lifetime.
Crown fractures are the most frequently reported type of injury, whereas luxation injuries and alveolar bone fractures present greater diagnostic and management challenges.
TDIs are particularly prevalent among school-aged populations due to increased exposure to physical activities, sports injuries, and accidental falls. In addition, delayed or inappropriate management may result in pulpal necrosis, root resorption, or tooth loss, increasing treatment complexity and cost.
Successful management of TDIs requires immediate and accurate diagnosis, correct classification, and evidence-based treatment planning. However, undergraduate dental students often demonstrate limited clinical confidence and inadequate decision-making skills due to insufficient exposure to trauma cases.
Previous studies have identified gaps in knowledge and clinical competence among dental students and interns and general practitioners in managing TDIs. This highlights the need for improved educational strategies.
