“…In the United States, Woodmansey 16 reported that 39% of all dental injuries are sport related. A more recent study 126 of Taiwanese 15-to 18-year olds showed that sports and leisure activities accounted for 30.8% of traumatic dental injuries. In addition to the physical injury, the indirect costs of traumatic orofacial injury may have financial, psychological, and social consequences for participants and their families.…”

Objective: To provide athletic trainers, health care professionals, and all those responsible for the care of athletes with clinical recommendations for preventing and managing sportrelated dental and oral injuries.Background: Participation in competitive sports continues to grow at both the interscholastic and intercollegiate levels. Therefore, exposure to, and the incidence of athletic-related injury, including orofacial injury, will also likely increase. At the time of this writing, the leading governing agencies for interscholastic (National Federation of State High School Associations) and intercollegiate (National Collegiate Athletic Association) sports require only protective orofacial equipment (eg, mouthguards) for 5 and 4, respectively, of their sanctioned sports. Although orofacial injuries represent a small percentage of all sport-related injuries, the financial burden associated with these injuries (eg, tooth avulsion) can exceed $15 000 over an adult life. Therefore, effective management of sport-related dental injuries is critical to the long-term financial, physical, and emotional health of people who have experienced dental trauma.Recommendations: Based upon the current evidence regarding sport-related orofacial injury, we provide recommendations related to planning considerations, education, and mouthguard efficacy, material, fabrication, and care considerations. Additionally, suggested best practices for managing sport-related dental injury are also given for athletic trainers and other health care professionals.

“…By comparing these attitudes in relation to the undergraduate period (before and after the 5th semester) and previous information and experience on dental trauma, it was observed no significant difference (p > 0.05) ( As the practice of sport activities is one of the main aetiological factors for orofacial injuries 5 , it is thought that dentist should develop ways to minimise these traumas or even prevent them from occurring. The physical education professionals who deal with athlets can become strategic partners in the emergency care.…”

“…Dental trauma is a distressing event often causing psychological as well as physical problems 3 , affecting the quality of life of the individual and his family 4 . Most of the orofacial injuries occur during the practice of recreational and sport activities 5 and have a great differential: their effects can be avoided or at least minimised by wearing protective devices 1,6 . It is desirable that physical education trainers and professionals, who have direct contact with sport practitioners, be able to provide immediate care in cases of orofacial trauma 7 because managing the avulsed tooth and/or dental fragment is directly associated with a more favourable prognosis 8 .…”

Knowledge and attitudes about dental trauma and mouthguard Introduction AbstractTo evaluate the knowledge and attitudes in a group of Brazilian physical education undergraduate students, relative to dental trauma and use of mouthguard. A total of 373 undergraduates from three public universities of Rio de Janeiro were interviewed by means of a semi-structured standardised questionnaire. The data were tabulated and analyzed using the statistical program SPSS, 17.0. Frequency was performed and it was also applied the qui-quadrado (p < 0.05) test, to establish a relation between variables of interest. Only 3.21% of the interviewees had been given information on dental trauma and use of mouth protector during their undergraduate course. With regard to their attitudes, only 19.83% responded correctly about how to act towards a tooth avulsion; 54.69% about how to manage the avulsed tooth, and 7.77% about how to transport the avulsed tooth. By comparing these attitudes in relation to the undergraduate period (before or after the 5th semester), previous information and experience on dental trauma, it was observed no signifi cant difference (p > 0.05). With regard to prevention, 89.81% knew mouthguard although only 17.96% wore it during sport activities. The students were given no information during their undergraduation course, even though the curriculum has the discipline of fi rst aid. The dentist are supposed to develop actions so that such knowledge meets the needs of the future physical education practitioners.

Orofacial trauma can occur during general anesthesia. Protective measures should be taken to prevent or minimize such injuries. We evaluated perceptions regarding the occurrence and prevention of orofacial injuries during general anesthesia among 74 professionals who perform this procedure. All participants were from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and information was collected in interviews, using a semi-structured questionnaire administered during an academic conference. The data were tabulated and analyzed, frequencies were calculated, and the chi-square test (P < 0.05) was used to assess relationships between variables of interest. Most participants (77.0%) had witnessed orofacial trauma during general anesthesia, and the most frequent type of dental injury was fracture (54.4%). Although most participants (64.9%) considered mouthguard use to be important during such procedures, only three reported using mouthguards to protect against patient injury. The likelihood of a dentist referral after injury was significantly associated with participant age (P = 0.03), length of time since graduation (P = 0.02), and area of specialization (P ≤ 0.01). Although most participants had witnessed orofacial injuries, mouthguards were not routinely used for injury prevention. (J Oral Sci 57, 263-267, 2015)
