Özet:

 

Dental trauma is a common consequence of sports practice in individuals competing in all levels of sports. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge of dental trauma and emergency procedures among university students attending to School of Physical Education and Sports.  A questionnaire was carried on 95 students with a mean age of 23.8 years. The questionnaire surveyed concepts, experiences and behaviors after dental trauma, the knowledge of immediate emergency management and the use of mouthguard.  A total of 35.8% students had experienced dental trauma. Most commonly encountered dental trauma was uncomplicated crown fracture (%52.9) and 67.6% of the subjects who experienced dental trauma applied for treatment. Only 34.7% of the students were aware that the avulsed tooth should be reimplanted and 6.3% knew that the avulsed tooth should be maintained in a liquid such as milk, water or mouth. Although most of the students were aware of the possibility of accidents during sports practice, only 8.4% reported to use a mouthguard.  This study showed a lack of knowledge in students possesing high risk factors for dental trauma, thus reinforcing the need for educational programmes to improve the knowledge of dental trauma and use of mouthguards.
