dc.description.abstract | Traumatic dental and facial injuries are
frequent in sports and often cause esthetic, functional,
psychological, and economic problems. The term
“weekend warrior” is used to describe people who
participate in physically demanding activities only on
the weekend, or part-time. In this prospective cohort
study, we examined the prevalence of dental trauma
and knowledge of traumatic dental injuries among
weekend warriors in Ankara, Turkey. A detailed
questionnaire on mouthguard awareness and knowledge
and experience of dental trauma was distributed
to 1,007 weekend warrior athletes participating in
a soccer tournament. The results showed that 9.8%
of participants had experienced orofacial trauma,
21.7% were aware of mouthguards, 2.9% reported
using mouthguards, 15.4% were aware of the field of
sports dentistry, and 19.6% were aware of emergency
treatment for dental trauma. Participation in sports,
especially contact sports, greatly increases the risk of
dental injury. The present results show that knowledge
of traumatic orofacial and dental injuries is limited
among weekend warriors. Public health authorities
should develop relevant educational programs,
including broad dissemination of information on the
risks of traumatic dental injuries and methods for
protection against such injuries. | en_US |
