Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the knowledge and response of dental interns and post-graduate doctors regarding various dental emergencies, revealing that while both groups have similar theoretical knowledge, actual encounter rates for interns are low.
- Findings showed that syncope is the most commonly seen emergency, and greater experience among doctors correlates with improved intervention skills in specific situations like epilepsy and anaphylactic shock.
- The research suggests that despite feeling knowledgeable, interns may lack practical skills due to infrequent exposure to emergencies, emphasizing the need for regular training sessions to enhance their preparedness for real-life situations.
