“…16 A relevant figure found in this study was the number of athletes (48.3%) who reported the consumption of sport drinks, gels and supplements, corroborating previous studies. 17,18 The use of these substances has been linked, by several researchers, with the development of dental erosion, a type of change caused by a chemical process (non-bacterial) and that leads to an irreversible loss of the dental structure. It is a problem to which athletes are particularly subjected, due to the higher exposure to risk factors.…”

Introduction: Rowers are especially prone to oral health problems due to the massive consumption of supplements and isotonic drinks that lead eating disorders, due to the need for weight control, and to the development of teeth clenching caused by the constant activation of the chewing muscles during sports activity. Objective: To evaluate the oral health status of a group of Brazilian rowers and to identify the main risk factors influencing their oral health. Methods: One hundred and twenty rowers (84 men and 36 women) with an age of 24.16 ± 5.74 years participated in this study; an average height of 1.79 ± 0.09 cm and body mass of 75.02 ± 11.64 kg were detected by means of a questionnaire focused on the main factors that influence the deterioration in athletes’ oral health. Results: The dental results revealed a significant number of rowers with the oral breathing pattern (46.7%), malocclusion (65.8%), bruxism (33.3%) and noise and/or pain in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) (20.8%). The use of supplements and isotonic drinks (48.3%) and the incidence of bleeding gums (30.83%) were also found. Conclusion: The results show the importance of making rowers aware of the relevance of oral health and the need for prevention systems, ideally including sports dentistry specialists within the sports medicine departments of rowing clubs. Level of evidence II; Retrospective study.

“…These variables are determinant factors for the selection of a certain type of whey according to the nutritional purpose [27]. Al Saffan et al [28] conducted a study to evaluate the effect of sport on oral health in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Their findings showed that 61.2% of their sample were taking protein, while 83.6% of them were taking a combination of amino acids, protein, and creatine.…”

“…In addition to them, Knight et al [33] performed a study in Riyadh city and found a relation between the increased consumption of supplements intake and poor oral health. In the same vein, Al Saffan et al [28] cleared that 81.7% and 76.6% of their participants who took supplements and protein, respectively, demonstrated poor oral hygiene which could be attributed to the insufficient methods of oral hygiene among their participants as they explained.…”

Background: This study was conducted to 1. estimate the effect of protein, creatine, and amino acids supplements on the oral health of bodybuilders. 2. compare the oral health status of bodybuilders with another non-bodybuilder group. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh city between April and July 2021. About 200 non-smokers Saudi men were recruited in the study which was allocated into two groups (100 subjects each); bodybuilders and non-bodybuilders. Oral health indicators like dental caries, plaque, and gingival indices were measured. Results: D and DMFT were higher in the bodybuilder group than in the non-bodybuilder [4.47 vs 0.89 for D, and 8.75 vs 4.58 for DMFT]. Also, P.I. and G.I. showed the same result. 60 % of participants were taking protein only, while 37% of them were taking a combination of protein, creatine, and amino acids. Only 3% were taking creatine. A positive significant association was found between the frequency of protein intake and D, Pl. I., and G.I. Negative significant association was found between Pl. I score and each of protein and combined intake of protein, creatine, and amino acids. Regarding G.I., combined supplement intake, protein intake, duration, and frequency of brushing were negatively associated with it [p=0.033, 0.026, 0.081, and 0.010 respectively]. Conclusion: From the previous findings we can conclude that poor oral hygiene practices among bodybuilders may be the real cause of their bad oral health. Also, the frequency of protein intake could be directly associated with increased dental caries, plaque accumulation, and gingivitis. While the higher intake of protein and combined supplements were associated with decreased plaque and gingival indices.
