ABSTRACT Dental trauma is highly prevalent, involving 25% of school‐age children and about 12.5% the general population world. Due to young age patients that are usually involved in dental trauma, there tooth‐related complicating factors, such as open apices, thin dentinal walls, unfavorable crown‐to‐root ratio, well patient‐related anxiety cooperation, other challenges related complex diagnosis treatment. Therefore, it not surprising global status knowledge for prevention emergency management traumatic injuries among professionals was often reported insufficient. Aiming improve education, one should consider contemporary educational settings have transitioned a digital learning ecosystem current students belong unique generational cohort. this paper examines educators encounter school classrooms defining characteristics generation Y Z student cohorts.
