“…Approximately 30% of all players had periodontitis which was higher from previous studies (15 % of athlete participating in the London 2012 Olympic Games). 4 Poor oral hygiene is risk factor of all oral disease. 13 The oral hygiene instruction should be included in for health program.…”

“…21 Previous study shows that the significant of oral health and impact on performance of athletes participating in the London 2012 Olympic Game, whereas this study failed to find the relationship of oral health status and quality of life might be from the small number of samples. 4 Better oral health will improve quality of life and performance of soccer player.…”

“…The etiological studies regarding the relationship between sports and oral health revealed that athletes may have poor oral health, such as high levels of dental caries, dental erosion and dental trauma. 4,5 It is proposed that poor oral health could down regulate athletes performance. 6 This indicated that the poor oral health could affect soccer players' performance as well.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the oral health status of the professional soccer players in Thailand. Methods: Twenty-five Thailand professional soccer players' oral conditions were examined and included in this study. DMFT, Quigley & Hein plaque index (PI), Löe & Silness gingival index, World Health Organization malocclusion index, pocket depth, TMJ examination and history of dental trauma were recorded. Results: The results demonstrated poor oral health level including dental caries (84%), DMFT score mean was 10.08, dental attrition (60%) and periodontal pocket (36%). Thirty percent of all players presented bruxism. More than 40% of athletes were bothered by their oral health with 28% reporting an impact on quality of life and 18% on training and performance. Conclusion: The oral health of Thai professional soccer players was poor that may result in negative impact on well-being, training and performance. As oral health is an important element of overall health and well-being, health promotion is required to optimize soccer player performance.

“…They may also have a negative impact on the athletes' training, performance, and general well-being. [38][39][40] The present systematic review with meta-analysis showed a wide range and a prevalence of dental caries, affecting 36.5% (95% CI = 30.6 to 42.7) of the athletes with intellectual disabilities. Similar to our results the Global Burden of Disease Study (2010) 1 observed that the global prevalence of untreated caries in permanent teeth in the general population was 35.29% for all ages combined.…”

Aims This study aimed to perform an epidemiological systematic review and meta‐analysis to estimate the global prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. Methods and results This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017068127). A systematic and extensive search was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library (Lilacs) databases, and Grey literature from inception up to April 2017. The MeSH terms “Sports,” Athletes,” and “Dental Caries” were used. The inclusion criteria used were observational cross‐sectional studies, longitudinal retrospective and prospective studies that present the prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. After the selection process, the risk of bias was assessed and a meta‐analysis was conducted. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, eight studies were considered to have a moderate risk of bias, and eight were considered to have high risk of bias. The global prevalence of dental caries was 36.5% (95% CI = 30.6 to 42.7) with high heterogeneity between studies. Conclusion Dental caries is a significant global health problem in athletes with intellectual disabilities worldwide. There is a great need for increased oral health promotion, education, and prevention as a way to reduce this condition in this population.

Surface texture of the mouthguard affects the sense of adaptation in the athlete and further affects hygiene. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes over time in surface roughness after finish polishing of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets and before and after finishing liquid application, and to evaluate its effectiveness. Total of 160 specimens of EVA (3 × 3 mm) were divided into 4 groups according to polishing condition (control = unpolished; RB = Robinson-brush; LF = Lisko-Fine, and MW = Mouthguard-wheel). Polishing was performed at low speed by using a straight headpiece. The rotation speed was 5000, 4000 and 6000 rpm for RB, LF, and MW, respectively. Next, a finishing liquid was applied to each specimen. Changes over time in surface roughness before and after application of the finishing liquid were compared by a non-contact surface shape measuring machine. The arithmetic average height (Sa) was measured. The measurement time points were before application, immediately after application, and at 5, 10, and 15 min after application. The changes over time of the surface roughness of the sheet before and after application of the finishing liquid were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni's multiple comparison tests. Surface roughness of the specimen before application became coarse in the order of control;MW, LF and RB, and Sa were about 0.21 µm, 2.03 µm, 2.94 µm, and 4.72 µm, respectively. That showed the same order after finishing liquid application.Significant decrease in Sa for RB and LF were seen at 10 min after application and at 5 min after application, respectively. 452Materials Sciences and Applications lubricity of about 1.0 µm increases within 5 -10 min of application of finishing liquid, but in cases where polishing was performed to about 2.0 µm; the application of finishing liquid has no effect.
