Introdução: No mundo do desporto de alto rendimento, cada detalhe pode fazer a diferença entre o sucesso e o insucesso desportivo. O atleta está sujeito a privações e sacrifícios, desde tenra idade, de modo a atingir uma produtividade elevada ao longo de toda a sua carreira, dedicando grande parte da sua disponibilidade ao treino físico, mental e nutricional, tendo como objetivo a otimização do seu desempenho. Contudo, a saúde
oral, apesar de fundamental na saúde geral, tem sido frequentemente relegada para segundo plano.
Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo é aferir o nível de perceção que os atletas têm sobre a influência da saúde oral no seu rendimento desportivo, bem como o seu conhecimento sobre boas práticas de prevenção das lesões orais.
Métodos: A amostra de conveniência (n=50) é composta por Atletas Profissionais, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Para a recolha de dados, foi adaptado o questionário, previamente validado, que permite aferir o nível de percepção dos atletas sobre a correlação do rendimento desportivo com a saúde oral. O questionário utilizado é composto por duas partes (A e B). A parte A, é constituída por questões sociodemográficas, e uma parte B, onde foi aplicado o questionário de autopercepção oral. Foram incluídos atletas profissionais, maiores de idade, federados em Portugal. Foi aplicado o protocolo da consulta de Medicina Dentária Desportiva, que inclui Ortopantomografia e consulta de Nutrição.
Resultados: A amostra incluiu 50 atletas, com uma média de idades de 24,5 anos. A maioria dos atletas (46%) autopercecionou o seu nível de higiene oral como <bom=. Uma minoria dos atletas (18%) assumiu já ter sido prejudicado em treino por um problema de saúde oral, bem como já ter sido prejudicado em competição pelo mesmo tipo de problema (16%).
Conclusão: Os atletas envolvidos neste estudo têm uma boa autopercepção do seu estado de saúde oral, visto que o grupo de atletas que relatou ter um pior estado de saúde oral é, efetivamente, o grupo com pior estado de saúde oral, tendo em conta os seus Índices de CPOD.
Introduction: In the world of high-performance sport, every detail can make the difference between success and failure. Athletes are exposed to hardship and sacrifice from an early age to achieve high productivity throughout their careers, dedicating much of their time to physical, mental and nutritional training to optimise performance. However, oral health has often been overlooked despite its fundamental importance to overall health. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess athletes' perceptions of the impact of oral health on their sporting performance and their knowledge of best practice in oral injury prevention. Methods: The convenience sample (n=50) consisted of professional athletes aged 18 years or older. For data collection, a previously validated questionnaire was adapted to measure athletes' perception of the relationship between sports performance and oral health. The questionnaire used consists of two parts (A and B). Part A consists of sociodemographic questions and part B is the oral self-perception questionnaire. The study included professional athletes, of legal age, from the Portuguese Federation. The sports dentistry consultation protocol was applied, which includes orthopantomography and a nutritional consultation. Results: The sample included 50 athletes with an average age of 24.5 years. The majority of athletes (46%) rated their oral hygiene as 'good'. A minority of athletes (18%) reported that they had been injured in training due to an oral health problem, and 16% had been injured in competition due to the same type of problem. Conclusion: The athletes in this study have a good self-perception of their oral health status, as the group of athletes who reported having the worst oral health status is actually the group with the worst oral health status when their CPO-D index is taken into account.
