To evaluate the knowledge of dentists from the health units (HU) of Porto Alegre -Brazil, regarding the management of avulsion of permanent teeth.Material and Methods:
All dentists (n = 117) from HU were invited to answer a self-applied questionnaire regarding the treatment and preservation of avulsed permanent teeth in different clinical scenarios, based on the guidelines of the International Association of Dental Trauma (IADT). The professional data were also collected. The correlation between the performance of each professional and professional data was performed, (StudentÆs t test, PearsonÆs and SpearmanÆs correlations), assuming 5% significance.Results:

The greatest number of hits was where the patient comes with the already replanted teeth (89.2%); 87.3% agreed in situations where the injured child reaches two hours of trauma with the tooth in a liquid medium, however in cases that period of trauma was more than two hours and tooth was dehydrated, the professionals performance was reduced (64.9%).
