Several different sports like karate, handball, basketball, or some other sport activities like riding a bike or roller skaters often cause dental trauma in young patients. Accidental falls, impacts and hits play major role in these injures, sometimes even with serious health impact. Soft tissue trauma presents a high percentage of injures, but 40% are dental traumas, and upper maxillary incisors are most affected.Fractured or lost upper first maxillary incisor demands immediate restoration. Prosthetic solutions for different sport facial and dental traumas are crowns, removable partial dentures or implants. Managing the pain fast with different treatment choices like extraction of the tooth, endodontic treatments and early temporary prosthetic therapy protocols are showing good results. Individual approach for every type of trauma is needed, and most of the patients are accepting the suggested treatment plan. Restored teeth show good aesthetic and function solutions, too.Choosing the best therapy treatments in these patients is very important, because dental trauma can also cause some psychological and social problems. Immediate treatment is necessary, and proper restoring often demands a team effort.

“…However, this increase in prevalence was not statistically significant (11). The highest prevalence of maxillofacial injuries in Japan, France, Northern Ireland, and the United States was related to rugby (26), soccer (37), soccer (38), and martial arts, respectively (39). Such differences can be due to the different presence of men and women in different sports and countries.…”

Background: Dental injury is an important public health problem that occurs in athletics. This study aimed to determine dental injuries in Iranian athletes. Methods: By searching related keywords in the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases, as well as the reference list of the eligible articles, and related published studies in English and Persian by the end of 2020 were included in the study, and the required data were extracted from them. Results: Out of 475 papers initially identified, 10 satisfied the inclusion criteria and were fully evaluated accordingly. Most dental injuries belonged to combat disciplines, and the most common types of injuries were fractures and mobility in the maxillary incisors. Based on these studies, it was found that most reported injuries occurred in men during exercise. Studies have also shown that the lack of using dental protectors is one of the most important causes of injury, and the use of protectors is crucial in preventing dental injuries. Conclusions: It seems that the emphasis on the preventive role of the use of dental protectors in controlling and preventing the occurrence of dental injuries can be decisive in this regard.

Sports dentistry is one of the most recent and upcoming fields in dentistry. It includes mainly the prevention and management of sports-related orofacial injuries and associated oral diseases or traumas. The dentist can play a critical role in informing athletes, coaches, and patients and their parents about the importance of prevention, treatment, and diagnosis for orofacial injuries in sports. The most significant aspect in preventing sports-related orofacial injuries is wearing basic protective devices such as properly fitting helmets, face masks, and/or mouthguards. A properly fitted mouthguard prevents violent contact between the upper and lower dentition. According to the American Society for Testing and Materials, there are three types of mouthguards: custom-fabricated mouthguards, mouth-formed guards, and stock mouthguards. Essential properties of the various materials used in the manufacture of mouthguards include water absorption, density, and thickness as well as temperature transmission, energy absorption, and drawing strength (tensile strength) of custom-made mouthguards. Currently, a variety of materials is being used for mouthguards, most commonly polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene copolymer or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and polyvinyl chloride. Mouthguard use is significant for athletes, since dentists play an important role in the design and application of these in clinical practice. The purpose of this article is to review the importance of mouthguard use, the incidence and location of orofacial sports injuries, the risk factors for such injuries, and the types of mouthguards and their roles in the prevention of sports-related orofacial injuries.
