Background: In Saudi Arabia, dental trauma is regarded as one of the most important issues affecting schoolchildren. This study evaluated Saudi Arabian schoolteachers’ knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding emergency dental trauma management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 263 schoolteachers from 25 schools; 50.9% were females. A questionnaire was used to collect respondents’ personal and professional data and information on managing dental injury scenarios and the respondents’ attitudes toward dental injuries. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out for the independent and outcome variable of inadequate knowledge regarding dental trauma management. Results: Male teachers had better knowledge than female teachers regarding emergency management of avulsed teeth. Compared to female teachers, male teachers would scrub a tooth with a toothbrush to replant it back into its socket if it fell onto the ground and was covered with dirt. Males had a significantly higher percentage of believing it is not teachers’ responsibility to care for tooth injuries in schools. Teachers with teaching experience of 5–10 years had a significantly higher percentage of training in dental emergencies. Teachers with bachelor’s degrees agreed on the need for teacher involvement to save the tooth in a timely manner. Compared to general teachers, physical education teachers would put the tooth back in the mouth and send the child to the dentist immediately if they were hit in the face and the upper front tooth fell out of their mouth. Teachers with a diploma level of education and teachers with a general type of teaching qualification were 2.15 times (CI = 0.98–3.11, p = 0.002) and 3.19 times (CI = 1.71–4.22, p = 0.0001) more likely to have a higher level of inadequate knowledge regarding dental trauma management. Conclusions: There is a need to raise teachers’ awareness and improve their dental trauma emergency management training.

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) in orthodontics has shown a promise in improving diagnosis and treatment planning processes. This study examines how well AI works for orthodontic treatment planning and how dentists perceive it. An international validated questionnaire survey was distributed to dental professionals. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of AI in orthodontic treatment planning and its acceptance by dental practitioners. Materials and Methods: a cross-sectional survey was done on orthodontic practitioners, residents, and interested undergraduate students from the Orthodontic Division, Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Taif University, Taif, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was used to collect data bout the participants’ use of AI in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Results and Discussion: The survey showed that 92% of dental professionals were generally aware of AI and its use in orthodontics. In addition to noting AI’s potential for precise data, 84% of the participants stressed the value of human expertise in thorough orthodontic analyses. Furthermore, most of the respondents (80%) thought that AI could not completely replace orthodontists. Conclusion: AI is a useful diagnostic tool that improves dental professionals’ knowledge in the planning of orthodontic treatments. It is not, however, a replacement for the expertise of experienced specialists in providing precise diagnoses and treatment plans. More research is needed to maximize AI applications and ensure their smooth integration into orthodontic practices.
