Diseño y evaluación de una unidad didáctica “manejo inmediato del trauma dentoalveolar” para la asignatura medicina deportiva de la facultad de cultura física de la universidad Santo Tomas

Abstract

Dentoalveolar trauma frequently can cause total or partial loss of hard tooth tissues, altering its surrounding structures: soft and supporting tissues resulting in functional and aesthetic problems in many patients. These traumatic events most often occur at an early age (between 7 and 14 years old) and immediate management provided to affected by the inexperienced person in charge of sports activities can directly influence the long-term prognosis of avulsed tooth and fractured . From the moment the dental trauma occurs and the person is helped by the manager, who is going to collect, handle, transport the injured tooth and guidance on the ideal place to seek care from the dentist time. The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a model of a teaching unit for the subject Sports Medicine Physical Culture Program of the University of St. Thomas on the initial management of dentoalveolar trauma. 33 students of fourth semester of the Faculty of Physical Culture surveys were conducted using an instrument gathering information to determine the degree of knowledge with which students have about dentoalveolar trauma; thus showing ignorance on the subject. The 91.67% of respondents had never received any information about the immediate management of dentoalveolar trauma, 41.67% did not know that a tooth after being out of the mouth can be reactivated. 62.5% considered important to include in the lesson plan on the topic initial management of dentoalveolar trauma. Post-training survey was implemented again demonstrating the positive change of knowledge. It was determined that the use of videos, brochures and practice models was an effective aid for capturing the information presented to students.
