Baseline knowledge of dental trauma was obtained by a questionnaire. Poster containing information of dental trauma management was displayed in a classroom for 2 weeks in each school in the intervention group whereas in the control group there was no display of such posters. Students of both groups completed the same questionnarie after 2 weeks.
Results

Conclusion
Educational poster on dental trauma management significantly improved the level of knowledge of secondary school students in Hong Kong. |
