Abstract :
World Health Organization theme for the year 2002 says, ‘move for health’, which emphasizes on the role of physical activity in the healthy living of an individual. During these physical activities, injuries to the face and trauma to primary and permanent teeth are common[1]. Since a high proportion of dental trauma occurres during physical education classes in school [2], it would be desirable for physical education teachers to be capable of managing such injuries. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge of physical education teachers about emergency management of dental trauma in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India.
