Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y prospectivo. El objetivo fue validar un nuevo cuestionario para medir el nivel de conocimiento de traumatismos dentoalveolares en pacientes odontopediátricos. Se realizó la modificación de un instrumento validado previamente creando uno nuevo de 21 preguntas de opción múltiple, divididas en 3 secciones: Conocimiento de la clasificación de Andreasen, Protocolo terapeútico en dentición decidua y Protocolo terapéutico en dentición permanente. Se sometió el instrumento a un juicio de expertos y a una prueba piloto. El cuestionario se aplicó a una muestra total de 150 participantes (50 estudiantes de pregrado de la carrera de Estomatología, 50 odontólogos generales y 50 especialistas en odontopediatría). Se volvió a aplicar el cuestionario (test retest) al 50% de la muestra. En los resultados se observó que el cuestionario alc...
