“…The use of beverages and supplements containing sugars should be discouraged. 7 Many rowers regularly drink sugar free squash, however this is not associated with increased caries or ETW in this group, therefore could be a useful alternative to proprietary sports drinks for hydration. For post-event hydration, milk could be substituted for proprietary sports drinks, and plain water is adequate if combined with electrolyte and carbohydrate-containing foods such as those normally eaten during the recovery period.…”

“…For post-event hydration, milk could be substituted for proprietary sports drinks, and plain water is adequate if combined with electrolyte and carbohydrate-containing foods such as those normally eaten during the recovery period. 7,21,22 Many athletes (83.2%) would consider the use of SFG but DBOH does not recommended it as a preventive adjunct. There is however some evidence that it may have a potential role in caries prevention.…”

“…It would therefore make sense for strategies incorporating oral health to be jointly developed by registered sport nutritionists, oral health experts and other athlete support team members. 7 Improving oral health through oral health screening and coaching Oral health promotion in sport is most likely to be successful if it is embedded within overall athlete general health and performance promotion 24 but most members of the athlete support team are not expert in this area and therefore specialist input is needed. Coaches, nutritionists and those who work with athletes should have robust training to ensure that athletes balance performance with their oral and general health.…”

“…4,5 Likely challenges to oral health in sport include increased risk of dental caries due to increased and/or inappropriate consumption of dietary carbohydrates within usual diet or sports nutrition products such as sports drinks, and energy bars or gels. 6,7 These products are marketed with no accompanying guidance related to oral health. Sports drinks tend to be acidic, therefore may also contribute to ETW.…”

Background In elite sport, protection of an athlete's health is a priority, however research indicates a substantial prevalence of oral disease in elite and professional athletes. The challenges to oral health from participation in sport require investigation to identify effective strategies and mitigate risk. Aim To explore athlete-reported oral health behaviours, risks and potential for behaviour change in a representative sample of elite athletes based in the UK. Method This was a cross sectional study. We provided oral health screening for 352 elite and professional athletes from June 2015-September 2016; 344 athletes also completed a questionnaire. Results Median age was 25 years (range 18-39) and 236 (67%) were male. 323 (94.2%) said they brush twice daily. 136 (40%) said their most recent dental attendance was within the previous 6 months. 97 (28%) would be assessed as high consumers of sugar in their regular diet. Use of sports nutrition products was common; 288 (80%) reported using sports drinks during training or competition but were positive about behaviour changes. Conclusion Despite reporting positive oral health related behaviours, athletes have substantial amounts of oral disease. Athletes are willing to consider behaviour change related to daily plaque removal, increased fluoride availability and regular dental visits to improve oral health.

“…It is a practical, comprehensive and highly intersecting clinical medical science for the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of its diseases. According to statistics [24] from the World Health Organization, more than 60% of school-age children and nearly 100% of adults worldwide have dental caries, and nearly 20% of adults aged 35-44 have severe dental disease [25], [26]. It can lead to the risk of missing teeth.…”

Registration Technology of Augmented Reality in Oral Medicine: A Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Augmented reality (AR) technology, as a computer simulation technology, combines various technologies such as virtual reality, computer vision, computer network, and human-computer interaction. AR has been widely used in medicine. The introduction of AR can effectively help the doctors to complete preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, postoperative evaluation, and medical training. Oral medicine is a major branch of modern medicine. AR can enhance the doctor's visual system, making the internal structure of the oral clearer and effectively reducing the difficulty of oral repair/surgery. Real-time tracking, registration, display, and interactive technologies for AR will play an important role in oral medicine. Among them, registration technology has become an important indicator for evaluating the AR system, and it is also the main bottleneck restricting the stability and applicability of the current AR system. Therefore, we reviewed the registration technology of AR in oral medicine. First, we conducted a hot spot analysis of AR keywords based on Citespace. And then, the registration technology is divided into static registration and real-time registration according to the actual clinical application, among which static registration is divided into rigid registration and non-rigid registration. We discussed problems and limitations of static registration and real-time registration in oral applications at this stage. Finally, the future direction of AR registration technology in oral medicine is proposed.
