Dental replantation is a major problem in public health. Its prognosis depends on emergency care, but there is a lack of knowledge on it. So, this study aims to evaluate the knowledge of undergraduate students of Dentistry, Speech Therapy, Physical Education, Pedagogy, and Technologist in Radiology. One hundred and fifty one students answered 10 questions about emergency replantation care. Then, an educational lecture was performed. The same questions were asked again to the same students to reevaluate their answers. The statistical tests were employed at a significant level of p<0.05. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) on the answers before and after the lecture. The dental students had a higher knowledge of the subject (p<0.05). The educational presentation reached its objective, since there was an improvement in the index of all answers of the post-lecture questionnaire, demonstrating that the people must be informed and trained in the emergency management of dental avulsion.
