“…Previous studies showed enormous discrepancies in the awareness that mouthguard use prevents orofacial injuries. The reported rates of such awareness in other countries were 100% in Germany and Switzerland, 81.9% in Japan, 52.4% in Brazil, 27% in Israel, 82.8% in Nigeria, 44.1% in Turkey (8,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). With the support of dentists and public health professionals, the risks of orofacial injury should be made known to athletes, parents, coaches, and school and college officials.…”

Abstract:We investigated the associations of mouthguard awareness and use with the rate and type of orofacial trauma during sports activities among professional athletes. In this cross-sectional study of athletes aged 12 to 22 years who trained for participation in national and international competitions, data were collected by using a questionnaire and a clinical examination that included an index of dental injury. There were significant differences in mouthguard awareness and use and injury rates, i.e., athletes who did not wear mouthguards had more injuries. Traumatic injuries to teeth were significantly more frequent among contact athletes (15; 9%) than among noncontact athletes (4; 2.5%). Limited mouthguard awareness could be due to lack of information and education on dental injuries and their prevention. (J Oral Sci 56, 239-243, 2014)

ÖZETDünyada spor akti vitelerinin ve spor karşılaşmalarının popülerliği gün geçti kçe artmaktadır. Sağlıklı yaşam için yapılan bu akti vitelerin birçok yararı olmasına karşın spor esnasında travma sonucu görülebilen doku yaralanmaları sıkıntı lı bir süreci de beraberinde geti rmektedir. Travmati k dental yaralanmalar yüksek prevelanslarından dolayı önemli bir sağlık problemi haline gelmişti r ve ciddi esteti k, fonksiyonel ve psikolojik sonuçlar doğurabilirler. Spor kaynaklı bu travmaların diğer travmalardan farkı, ağız koruyucusu kullanarak bu yaralanmaları engellemek veya anlamlı ölçüde azaltmaktı r. Travma sonrasında, doğru teşhis ve uygun tedavi ile başarılı bir iyileşme sağlanabilir. Bu çalışmada dental travmaların eti yolojileri, uygulanabilecek acil tedaviler ve ağız koruyucuları hakkında bilgi sunulmaktadır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Ağız koruyucuları, dental travma, spor SPORTS RELATED DENTAL TRAUMA, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION METHODS ABSTRACTThe popularity of sports activities and competitions is growing around the world day by day. These activities which are preferred for healthier life has many benefits but they also include a stressful time of tissue traumas which are caused during sports activities. Traumatic dental injures become an important public health problem because of their high prevalence. They can cause serious aesthetic, functional and psychological problems. The use of mouth guards can significantly decrease or prevent sports related dental traumas and this is what separates these traumas from other traumas. After trauma, correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment can provide successful recovery. In this article we present information about the etiologies and emergent treatments of dental traumatic injuries and mouth guards.

In the case of adults, problems can be avoided by storing a working model, but then the storage space for the models becomes necessary. Problems also occur in the fabrication process. In the conventional fabrication method of hot-pressure molding of a sheet, the thickness is difficult to control in the anterior area, molar area, etc., and differences in thickness can also arise depending on the original thickness [12] and color [13] of the sheet. If a thickness difference is present, the location of occlusal support changes and affects the position of the mandible, which has also been noted as a problem [14]. We decided to explore digital technology to solve these problems. Various types of digital technology are already used in dentistry [15]. Optical impression taking and CAD/CAM technology has been applied in prosthesis fabrication, and CAD/CAM is already covered by insurance. There have also been attempts to create surgical assistance devices using CAD/CAM [16,17]. 3D printers have also been used clinically to enable fabrication of surgical guides for implants and mandible models for reference during oral surgery. Optical impression taking is effective for patients who have a gag reflex without the risk
