Aim: Dental trauma is one of the major oral health problems faced during the developmental ages. Most of the traumatic events occur at home; therefore, parents are frequently required to provide appropriate first aid measures. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available evidence parents have regarding the topic of dental trauma, with a focus on their level of knowledge, attitude, and practice. Methods: The systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The research question was structured using the PICO framework (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023397318). Conclusion: Parents' knowledge about dental trauma management is quite limited, and this has a negative impact on the long-term prognosis of traumatised teeth. It is crucial to increase parents' knowledge and awareness about the importance of dental traumas in paediatric age.
