Abstract(s)
A saúde oral dos atletas tem sido objeto de pesquisas e preocupações no mundo do desporto e vários estudos têm demonstrado que um elevado número de atletas estão expostos a riscos que prejudicam o seu próprio desempenho. Existe um consenso sobre os principais fatores que ameaçam a saúde oral dos atletas, nomeadamente, a cárie dentária, doença periodontal, erosão e problemas que geralmente podem ser prevenidos e evitados. Na área do desporto profissional a avaliação da saúde oral tem aumentado devido à sua relação com a condição física geral dos atletas, como a cárie e doença periodontal que podem ser focos infeciosos e degenerar em problemas cardíacos devido ao elevado número de bactérias que se localizam no nível gengival e podem aceder à corrente sanguínea, afetando outras regiões do corpo. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é avaliar a autoperceção, consciência e padrão de conhecimento dos atletas de capoeira de diferentes níveis e idades em relação a saúde oral e acompanhamento na medicina dentária desportiva. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário, abrangente e de fácil compreensão, aplicado na principal competição europeia de capoeira, realizado pela equipa de medicina dentária desportiva da Universidade Egas Moniz.
The oral health of athletes has been the subject of research and concern in the world of sport and several studies have shown that a large number of athletes are exposed to risks that impair their own performance. There is a consensus on the main factors that threaten the oral health of athletes, namely, tooth decay, periodontal disease, erosion and problems that can generally be prevented and avoided. In the area of professional sports, the assessment of oral health has increased due to its relationship with the general physical condition of athletes, such as periodontal caries, which can be infectious foci and can degenerate into heart problems due to the high number of bacteria that are located at the level gum and can access the bloodstream, affecting other regions of the body. The objective of this research is to evaluate the self-perception, awareness and knowledge pattern of capoeira athletes in relation to oral health and follow-up in sports dentistry. Data will be collected through a comprehensive and easy-to-understand questionnaire that will be carried out in the main European capoeira competition, validated by the sports dentistry team of the Egas Moniz University.
