Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Este estudo transversal de caráter observacional teve como intuito determinar a prevalência de utilização do protetor oral, assim como a prevalência de traumatismos orofaciais. Pretendeu também verificar a relação entre o overjet aumentado e a prevalência de traumatismos orofaciais, bem como a relação entre o uso de protetor
oral e a ocorrência de traumatismos orofaciais na população praticante de hóquei em
patins em estudo.
Materiais e métodos: Foram observados 117 atletas com idades entre os 13 e os
19 anos de idade. A recolha de dados foi efetuada nos pavilhões desportivos dos
respetivos clubes, designadamente Sporting Clube de Portugal, Sport Lisboa e Benfica,
Clube Desportivo de Paço de Arcos e Parede Futebol Clube, com recurso a exames
clínicos antecedidos pelo preenchimento de questionários e respetivos consentimentos
por parte dos atletas e responsáveis pelas crianças, no caso dos menores de idade.
Analisaram-se diversas características referentes à frequência do traumatismo, trauma e
cuidados orais, prevalência de utilização do protetor oral e prevalência do traumatismo,
tipo de oclusão e CPOD de cada atleta.
Resultados: A prevalência de traumatismos orofaciais na amostra em estudo foi de 38,5%, tendo 71,1% destes afetado peças dentárias, sobretudo os incisivos superiores
de ambas as dentições. Quanto ao conhecimento relativamente ao protetor oral, 90,6%
dos atletas referiram conhecer a função do mesmo, sendo que de forma contrastante, a
prevalência de utilização foi de apenas 16,2%. No momento da lesão apenas 4 atletas
utilizavam protetor oral.
Conclusão: Verificou-se que a prevalência de utilização de protetor oral foi baixa, ao contrário da elevada frequência de traumatismos orofaciais registada, não tendo sido
possível, no entanto, comprovar a existência de uma relação entre estas lesões e um
overjet aumentado. Concluiu-se, por fim, que a utilização de protetor oral é benéfica e
contribui para a diminuição do número de traumatismos orofaciais.
Objectives: This observational cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of mouthguard use, as well as the prevalence of orofacial trauma. It also aimed to verify the relationship between the increased overjet and the prevalence of orofacial trauma, as well as the relationship between the use of mouthguard and the occurrence of orofacial trauma in the roller hockey population studied. Materials and methods: 117 athletes aged between 13 and 19 years old were observed. Data collection was performed in the sports halls of the sports clubs, namely Sporting Clube de Portugal, Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Clube Desportivo de Paço de Arcos and Parede Futebol Clube, using clinical examinations preceded by the completion of questionnaires and respective consents by the athletes and guardians of children in the case of minors. Several characteristics related to the frequency of trauma, trauma and oral care, prevalence of mouthguard use and prevalence of trauma, type of occlusion and DMFT of each athlete were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of orofacial trauma in the study sample was 38.5%, and 71.1% of these affected dental parts, especially the upper incisors of both dentitions. Regarding the knowledge of the mouthguard, 90.6% of the athletes reported knowing their function, and in contrast, the prevalence of use was only 16.2%. At the time of injury only 4 athletes used mouthguard. Conclusion: It was found that the prevalence of mouthguard use was low, in contrast to the high frequency of orofacial injuries recorded, although it was not possible to prove the existence of a relationship between these injuries and an increased overjet. Finally, it was concluded that the use of mouthguard is beneficial and contributes to reduce the number of orofacial injuries.
