Latar belakang : Trauma gigi pada kalangan anak-anak sering terjadi di sekolah dengan prevalensi 1 dari 14 murid menderita injuri di sekolah setiap tahunnya. Strategi perawatan dan pertolongan pertama yang tepat dapat menentukan prognosis gigi yang terkena trauma. Guru merupakan wali orang tua di sekolah yang dapat berperan dalam kasus trauma gigi yang terjadi di sekolah. Berdasarkan literatur, pengetahuan guru masih kurang mengenai trauma gigi anak. Sikap dan pengetahuan seseorang dapat dipengaruhi faktor internal dan eksternal seperti atribut fisiologis berupa jenis kelamin, pengalaman, dan pekerjaan. Studi mengenai pengukuran sikap dan pengetahuan guru mengenai trauma gigi anak menggunakan kuesioner telah banyak dilakukan dengan populasi berbeda-beda. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalis hubungan jenis kelamin, lama pengalaman mengajar, dan bidang studi terhadap sikap dan pengetahuan guru sekolah dasar mengenai trauma gigi anak berdasarkan populasi di Indonesia. Metode Penelitian : Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik korelasi. Sebanyak 90 guru sekolah dasar negeri (SDN) dari 14 SDN di Jakarta Pusat yang dipilih secara acak untuk mengisi kuesioner. Data dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Kendall. Hasil : Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara pengalaman mengajar dengan sikap guru mengenai trauma gigi anak (p<0.05) dengan korelasi linier negatif yang lemah. Namun, variabel-variabel lainnya tidak memiliki hubungan bermakna pada sikap maupun pengetahuan. Kesimpulan : Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara lama pengalaman mengajar dengan sikap guru terhadap trauma gigi pada anak, sedangkan tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara variabel-variabel lainnya. Secara umum didapati sikap guru sekolah dasar terhadap trauma gigi anak baik, sedangkan pengetahuan guru terhadap trauma gigi anak buruk.
