Regarding the management to be performed after avulsion, institution B had the highest percentage of correct answers for the first stage (tooth washing) (p<0.05), however, when evaluating the correct sequence, institution C presented the highest percentage of correct answers. (p<0.05). Regarding the storage medium, the options saline and milk were the most chosen and institution E had a higher percentage of correct answers for saline solution, when compared to the others (p<0.05).
