“…When interpreting the data and placing them in the scientific context, it is important to note that no prefabricated splint was used in the present study, but rather a splint made individually for each participant in physiological relation, close to the centric. Therefore, on the one hand, due to divergent manufacturing processes used for producing commercially available splints and, on the other hand, the processes used in producing custom-made splints in relation to ready-made splints, the present results are difficult to compare with other studies [ 54 – 56 ]. This is because the gripping of the position of the maxilla in relation to the skull plays just as important a role here as the centric does in taking of the bite.…”

“…Also, Zhang et al [ 53 ] also concluded in their review that an occlusal splint can be used as a noninvasive treatment approach for patients with TMD, especially for those patients who have signs and symptoms of mandibular motion restriction and pain. Possibilities for splint production include a temporarily fixed position of the occlusion, e.g., in the centric relation or the maximum clenching position [ 54 – 56 ].…”

Objectives The range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine and postural stability are important for an economical and motorically adequate adaptation of the body to any situation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze whether these two components of postural and movement control can be influenced by means of a splint in a centric position compared to habitual occlusion. Methods 38 recreational male athletes volunteered. Cervical spine ROM was recorded using an ultrasound system and the a pressure measuring plate for postural stability (length of center of pressure (CoP) movement, area of CoP). The two dental occlusion conditions employed were the habitual occlusion and wearing a splint in an idealized, condylar position close to the centric position. Level of significance was set at ρ ≤ 0.05. Results The cervical spine mobility increased significantly by wearing the splint regarding rotation to the left (+3.9%) and right (+2.7%) and lateral flexion to the left (+4.4%) and right (+6.7%). Wearing the splint reduced the area of sway deflections by about 31.5% in the bipedal stance and by about 2.4% (left) and 28.2% (right) in the unipedal stance. The CoP trace was reduced in the sagittal plane by approximately 8.2% in the right single-leg stance. Conclusions The major findings seem to demonstrate that wearing a splint that keeps the jaw close to the centric relation may increase the cervical ROM and may improve balance stability in male recreational athletes. Changing the jaw relation in athletes can possibly aid the release of performance potentials by improving coordination skills.

“…The primary function of the mouthguard in sports is the prevention or reduction of injury of teeth, gingival tissue, lips and jaws. [38][39][40][41] A meta-analysis from 2007 evaluated mouthguards' effectiveness in reducing dental injuries and found that overall injury risk was reduced by 1.6-1.9 when a mouthguard was worn. Mouthguards work by distributing the force of impact, thereby reducing the power transmitted to the dentition.…”

Objectives/AimSports‐related dental injuries occur frequently among athletes due to inadequate knowledge and prevention measures. The aim of the study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices of active soccer players from all leagues in Croatia regarding traumatic dental injuries and the use of mouthguards.Material and Methods393 respondents completed a questionnaire‐based online survey from March 2022 to April 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 37 questions divided in four sections: demographic characteristics, experience with orofacial injuries, knowledge of emergency therapeutic procedures for dental injuries, and behaviors related to the use of a mouthguard.ResultsInsufficient knowledge was confirmed by a total score of 2.8 ± 2.8 points, with a possible maximum of 11. Respondents' better knowledge can be associated with educational level (p = .002), playing position (p = .046), and personally experienced injuries to the face and jaw (p ≤ .001) and teeth (p = .022). Less than 40% of respondents suffered facial and jaw injuries while playing football and 18.6% suffered dental injuries. Although most respondents (93.9%) were familiar with mouthguards and 68.9% believed that they help prevent injuries while playing football, only 16% used them.ConclusionThe study revealed significant gaps in knowledge regarding dental injuries and the practice of mouthguard usage among Croatian soccer players. Therefore, it is evident that additional education is needed to prevent dental injuries and take proper procedures when taking care of them among the examined population.

“…To overcome this, a web-based learning media was developed as a tool in the artistic double-category learning process. Media developed in the form of a web must be tested for validity, practicality, and effectiveness so that it can achieve the main goal of competitive sports, namely the peak of athlete achievement (Ohlendorf, et al, 2021). This development research is needed so that the process of understanding material about pencak silat artistic double category can be done in more detail.…”

Pencak silat rules have changed in terms of the competition system and in terms of scoring. The artistic category in pencak silat consists of single category, double category, team category and solo creative category, each of which has its own characteristics. 49 people participated in filling out the questionnaire from the preliminary research which was divided from 19 coaches and 30 artistic category athletes from the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java province. 83.7% of respondents agreed that the doubles category is the most difficult move to learn. As many as 87.8% of respondents have never encountered digital-based double-category training media. This research aims to produce a training media in the form of a web-based to facilitate the double-category training process that is valid, feasible, and effective to be used by coaches and athletes. This study uses the research and development method with the ADDIE model. Product quality results are tested from 3 aspects: validity, feasibility, and effectiveness. The web product developed is considered valid as it has an average score of 90.8% from material experts and 95% from media expert. The media developed are also considered feasible, with what was obtained in this research being web media with an average score percentage of 89°% from the athletes and an average score of 92% from the coaches. The media developed is declared effective using the paired sample t-test and both media obtain the results that show sig, (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. So that the development of this training media can be used to practice easily by arts category pencak silat athletes. The hope is that the development of digital-based media can continue to be developed and studied repeatedly academically.
