ObjectiveInvestigate the prevalence of dental traumas in participants of two contact sports (Judo and Taekwondo) and characterise some related factors. Methods Cross RESUMOObjetivo Investigar a prevalência de traumatismos dentários na população praticante de dois esportes de contacto (Judo e Taekwondo) e caraterizar alguns fatores associados. MétodosEstudo piloto transversal com carácter observacional, realizado com recurso a observação e registo de dados e informações. A amostra foi de 60 indivíduos com idades compreendidas entre os 5 e os 15 anos, de ambos os sexos, praticantes de Judo ou Taekwondo no Parque de Jogos 1º de Maio -INATEL. A análise estatística envolveu medidas de estatística descritiva e estatística inferencial. ResultadosA prevalência de traumatismos dentários na população em estudo foi de 38,3%, em que a maioria ocorreu fora da prática desportiva (82,6%). Apenas 4 crianças sofreram traumatismos durante a prática desportiva, correspondendo a uma prevalência de 6,67%. O único esporte predisponente para o trauma neste estudo foi o Judo. Os dentes mais atingidos foram os incisivos centrais superiores decíduos seguidos dos incisivos centrais superiores definitivos, e a maioria das situações afetou apenas um dente. O lábio foi o tecido mole com maior número de lesões traumáticas registadas. O hábito de utilização de protetor oral teve frequência nula. Verificou-se relação estatisticamente significativa entre a ocorrência de trauma e os fatores de risco estudados. ConclusãoFoi encontrada uma alta prevalência de traumatismos dentários na população estudada. Esta mostrou-se alta no Judo, no entanto no Taekwondo não houve qualquer registo de lesões traumáticas.Termos de indexação: Artes marciais. Protetores bucais. Traumatismos dentários.

“…Previous studies showed enormous discrepancies in the awareness that mouthguard use prevents orofacial injuries. The reported rates of such awareness in other countries were 100% in Germany and Switzerland, 81.9% in Japan, 52.4% in Brazil, 27% in Israel, 82.8% in Nigeria, 44.1% in Turkey (8,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). With the support of dentists and public health professionals, the risks of orofacial injury should be made known to athletes, parents, coaches, and school and college officials.…”

Abstract:We investigated the associations of mouthguard awareness and use with the rate and type of orofacial trauma during sports activities among professional athletes. In this cross-sectional study of athletes aged 12 to 22 years who trained for participation in national and international competitions, data were collected by using a questionnaire and a clinical examination that included an index of dental injury. There were significant differences in mouthguard awareness and use and injury rates, i.e., athletes who did not wear mouthguards had more injuries. Traumatic injuries to teeth were significantly more frequent among contact athletes (15; 9%) than among noncontact athletes (4; 2.5%). Limited mouthguard awareness could be due to lack of information and education on dental injuries and their prevention. (J Oral Sci 56, 239-243, 2014)

“…[1][2][3]12 Orofacial and dental injuries commonly occur during sports participation, with as many as 31% of orofacial injuries reported to result from trauma while playing sports. 4,[12][13][14] Of 9543 patients treated over 10 years by a maxillofacial surgery department in an Australian hospital, sports injuries (31%) came only second to activities of daily life (38%) as the reason of presentation. 11 Other causes of injury included violence (12%), traffic accidents (12%) and work accidents (5%).…”

Background: There is a high prevalence of orofacial trauma in rugby union players. Mouthguards reduce complications following dental injuries, should dental injuries occur. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of oral trauma and the significance of mouthguard use in adult amateur rugby union players in New South Wales, Australia. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to players in rugby union clubs. It questioned players about their mouthguard use and orofacial trauma experience; the type of injury, complications, if a mouthguard was worn, where treatment was sought and outcome. Results: The prevalence of orofacial trauma in rugby union players is 64.9%. The most common injury was laceration to intraoral and extraoral soft tissues at 44.5%. Of all orofacial injuries reported, 41.9% were to the dentition. Following dental injury, loss of the tooth was the most common complication (34.7%). 76.9% of players wore mouthguards. By wearing a mouthguard, the risk reduction for ongoing complications following dental injuries was 18.5% (p-value = 0.009). Of these, 10.4% (p-value = 0.45) represented loss of the tooth. Conclusions: Rates of orofacial trauma and complications in amateur rugby union players are high in Australia. Use of mouthguards results in significant risk reduction for complications following dental injuries, including loss of tooth.
