An incorrect diagnosis or a delayed treatment of traumatic injuries may lead to irreparable damages. Thus, proper management provided by physicians and dentists is crucial for patients affected by these injuries.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dentoalveolar trauma management training on improving physicians' and dentists’ knowledge in different emergency wards in Mashhad, Iran.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

We gathered information using a valid and reliable questionnaire. Afterward, we provided the participants with booklets about dental traumas. By passing one month, the above-mentioned questionnaire was used to re-evaluate the target groups’ knowledge. The results were statistically analyzed using Chi-square, One-way ANOVA and paired sample T-test with statistically significant differences defined for </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt">p </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">< 0.05.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br>
