La avulsión dental es una lesión traumática grave caracterizada por la expulsión completa del diente fuera de su cavidad alveolar. La respuesta del personal dental a la avulsión dental es muy importante y se deben conocer los protocolos sobre el manejo de lesiones traumáticas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el grado de conocimiento de la gestión de la avulsión dental de un grupo representativo de dentistas en la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador. 183 dentistas participaron en la encuesta transversal. Los resultados muestran que el 42% de los dentistas encuestados dijeron que habían recibido cierta información, aunque menor, sobre el manejo del trauma dental, y que el 74.8% de los encuestados no están familiarizados con los protocolos recomendados de IADT sobre el manejo de lesiones traumáticas. La mayoría de los dentistas participantes tienen una mala comprensión del manejo de la avulsión dental, en contraste con los especialistas dentales encuestados; los resultados indican que estos últimos son más capaces de manejar esta lesión. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que el trauma dental se incluya en el programa académico en las escuelas universitarias de odontología del Ecuador.
