“…High-performance athletes with a weakened immune system due to demanding physical activity are more susceptible to widespread diseases; therefore, it is highly important to keep athletes healthy so that they do not have issues during training and competition, since muscle repair could be affected by an oral infection and disable the athlete from participating in a sports event. 16 , 21 …”

Introduction Dental care is provided for high-performance athletes at national and international sports events. Elite athletes may seek care for sports-related injuries and pre-existing oral diseases. Previous studies indicate an association between oral health problems and negative performance impacts in elite athletes. Objectives To determine the prevalence of the most common oral pathologies in high-performance athletes during the emergency dental care performed at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games (JPL-19). Methodology All reports of athletes (≥18 years old, of both sexes, from 41 countries) who received emergency dental care at Pan American Villas during the JPL-19 were included. Injuries and types of oral diseases were classified according to the Injury and Disease Surveillance System proposed by the International Olympic Committee. Results Of the 6680 participating athletes, 76 (1.14%) presented as dental emergencies, 90.8% (69/76) of the athletes seen presented pre-existing oral pathological conditions, the most frequent were periodontal diseases (34%, 26/76) and dental caries (29%, 22/76). Among the sports with the most cases, there were 22 (29%) in athletics, 6 (8%) in soccer, and 6 (8%) in taekwondo. The most frequent dental emergencies came from Peru, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Grenada, and Venezuela. Conclusions Pre-existing oral diseases were more frequent than sports-related accidents. The most prevalent diseases were periodontal disease and dental caries disease. It is necessary to implement new care strategies for athletes, based on prevention, before and during sports competitions.

“…Após a década de 80 [27,28] em seus trabalhos, acredita-se na relação de equilíbrio mandibular e na melhora da força muscular em indivíduos com a dentição completa. Atualmente, a má oclusão dentária pode levar a várias alterações iniciando com as dores e potencialização por sensações que afetarão a qualidade dos treinamentos [29][30][31][32].…”

Introduction: Maintaining oral health by preventing and motivating healthy habits (tooth brushing and flossing) is effective in preventing diseases in the oral cavity. It is speculated that oral health improves performance in athletes and reduces injuries. Objectives: Diagnose the oral health conditions of athletes; Treat oral lesions; Develop educational and motivational actions in the promotion and prevention of oral health. Methods: 14 athletes of both genders from the athletics modality were studied. They answered a questionnaire with objective questions about their knowledge of the interferences of oral changes in sports performance. Oral health indicators were also evaluated, such as Control Plaque Index (CPI), Bleeding Index (BI), and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (SOHI) at the beginning of the study. Then, dental treatments were performed according to the individual needs of each athlete, accompanied by lectures on prevention and motivation of healthy oral health habits. After six months, mouth indicators were reassessed. In all phases of the experiment, there was supervision by dental surgeons. Results: The collected data allow us to point out the significant reduction in oral health indexes. Athletes have no prior knowledge of the influence of oral health and sports. Another important point addressed in the study was the misuse of dental floss. Conclusion: We can make the following notes: 1) This is the first study using the athletics modality and involving both genders; 2) It was also observed that, all athletes had little knowledge about oral health and its relationship with performance; 3) The oral health indicators were reduced after oral health education actions through lectures on the prevention and motivation of healthy habits such as better brushing and the correct use of dental floss.

“…У међународно препознатим "спортским нау-кама" се уочава застој од 17 година између окон-чања истраживачких студија и њиховог трансфе-ра у праксу, па чак, и тада се уочава да се ради само о делимичном трансферу освојених знања и праксе (Thoma et al, 2016). У процесу трансфера нових знања и праксе постоји неколико корака које је потребно испунити, и на сваком од њих, научни часопис "Физичка култура" има простор и улогу за нову стратегију и деловање у правцу унапређења "природног знања" и вредносно уса-вршавање друштва кроз културу, уметност и нау-ку коју доноси физичко вежбање.…”

“…In internationally recognized "sports sciences", there is a gap of 17 years between the completion of research studies and their transfer into practice, and even then it has been noticed that this is only a partial transfer of the acquired knowledge and practice (Thoma et al, 2016). In the process of transferring new knowledge and practice, there are several steps that are necessary to be fulfilled, and in each of them, the scientific journal "Physical Culture" has the space and role for a new strategy and action in the direction towards the "natural knowledge" improvement and the enhancement of social values through culture, art and science included in physical exercise.…”

Modern universities have become the backbone of an economy based on knowledge and innovative policy. They deal with problems of society, primarily the needs for general development, as well as with the problems neglected or "unfulfilled" by public authorities. In Serbia, a project is being realized, which, in addition to the existing two missions (teaching and research), should also develop and implement the universities' third mission which consists of the following three pillars of development: knowledge transfer -technology and innovations, continuous learning, and the acquisition and application of socially responsible behaviour by the universities in Serbia. The changes leading to a modern entrepreneurial university should be followed and accompanied by the changes in scientific journals' missions, since the common denominator of knowledge creators and disseminators is the prosperity of science and society based on innovations. Accordingly, the subject matter of this paper refers to the university's assumed role in the community development or to the capacity of the "Physical Culture" scientific journal to become an intermediary between the teaching, scientific and social mission of the "Physical Education and Sport" science.
