“…Regular physical activity is recommended as a therapeutic measure for bruxism [ 36 ]. Once this physical activity is performed professionally, the associated competition may be linked to stress for sufferers and thus may be a risk factor for TMDs [ 19 , 27 , 37 ]. The questionnaire design only considered the quantity of physical activity and not the quality (type of sport, club activity, intensity, etc.).…”

“…Some biological factors - such as female gender, professional athletes, age - and psychosocial factors - such as poor stress management and competitive pressure - have been documented in the literature [ 9 , 18 – 26 ]. Since athletes, for example, represent a risk group for TMDs [ 19 , 27 ], it is reasonable to assume that this correlation could also be transferred to athletes in the orofacial region, such as singers.…”

Background This study investigates the relationship between professional and recreational singing on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in women compared to a nonsinging control group. Methods A total of 288 female subjects between the ages of 18 and 45 participated in the self-assessment questionnaire including demographic data, as well as questions on vocal practice and TMDs symptoms. Depending on the singing time per week, the (non)vocalists were assigned to the groups professional (n = 96), recreational (n = 96) and nonsingers (n = 96). Results The TMDs prevalence in professional singers (42%) was higher than that in recreational singers (31%) and noticeably higher than that in nonsingers (25%). The Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test showed that the differences between the groups were not noticeable (p = .053) but could be formulated as tendencies. The professionals suffered much more from restricted jaw movement (p = .004; OR = 2.718; 95% CI = 1.409–5.242), temporomandibular joint sounds (p < .009; OR = 2.267; 95% CI = 1.264–4.064) and temporomandibular pain (p = .010; OR = 2.333; 95% CI = 1.264–4.308) than nonsingers. Conclusions Singing might have an enhancing effect on the appearance of TMDs. In particular, professional singers suffered more from self-reported TMDs than recreational singers and nonsingers. In addition to the high level of physical workload if participating in professional singing, the psychosocial impact should be investigated more in further studies. No new treatment strategies resulted from this study, as the etiological significance of singing is still unclear. Knowledge about risk factors for multifactorial TMDs can help practitioners and patients prevent and treat TMDs.

“…Dentofacial injury is prevented by absorbing the energy of the incoming impact and reducing the force on the dental hard tissues [ 7 , 8 ], mandibular condyle, and articular disc [ 9 , 10 ]. Positive results of using a mouthguard on protection and performance have been seen in many studies [ 3 , 11 ]. Contact athletes are advised to use safety equipment such as mouthguards to minimize impacts [ 12 ].…”

Objectives Traumatic dental injury occurs during sports competitions, training, and practice and can be prevented by the use of mouthguards. For this reason, this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of sports science faculty students, physical education teachers, and athletes about mouthguards. Methods Five hundred thirty-two participants were reached via social media. In the questionnaire consisting of 20 questions, questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were asked in part 1, and questions about their level of knowledge and attitudes about the mouthguards were asked in part 2. Descriptive statistical analysis and a chi-square test were used to evaluate the data. Results The number of people who think that mouthguards protect the athlete from traumatic dental injury is 381 (71.6%). The number of people who think that mouthguards affect the performance of the athlete is positively 228 (42.9%). To protect against traumatic dental injury, 51.48% of the participants preferred the custom-made; 39.3% of them preferred the boil-bite; 33.22% of them preferred the standard/stock type mouth guard; and 22.96% of them preferred the helmet, and 18.26% of them preferred the face mask. Conclusions The knowledge and attitude of sports science faculty students, physical education teachers, and athletes are low about mouthguards. Since these people who are engaged in sports have a high exposure to traumatic dental injuries, education should be given to increase their awareness about mouthguards.
