Abstract: Results: Data from 382 teachers from 30 schools spread across Galicia were obtained.Of the teachers completing the questionnaire, 59.4% have received first aid training; of these 2.1% received first aid training that included CTDI content, and 42.7% of the responding teachers have faced a CTDI in the past in the workplace.In relation to dental luxations, the most common action response (58.1%) was notifying parents.Similar results were obtained in cases of dental fractures.Primary action response errors related to the means of preserving avulsed teeth, usually opting for transporting teeth "dry".The 86.4% of teachers were interested in receiving specific training guidelines for action in responding to CTDIs.Conclusions: The knowledge of teachers on the first action measure to respond to a CTDI turned out to be significantly low.This is especially worrisome since many of the CTDIs occur in schools and increases the need to include CTDI content in teacher training programs.
