Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the parental knowledge of trauma protocol for avulsion of primary and permanent teeth.
Methods: Parents of patients between the age of 0-18 years old at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Department of Pediatrics were recruited for this survey study at their child’s dental appointment. After development of the survey, content and face validity testing were completed. The validated survey consists of 13 questions and was completed using an online survey tool, Qualtrics Survey. Descriptive statistics (counts and percentages for categorical items, means and standard deviations for continuous items) will be calculated. The chi-square test will be used to compare responses between groups. Fisher’s exact test will be used in the case of sparse cell count. P-values less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. SPSS 29 will be used for the analysis.
