Toolkit for sports organizations
■Around the world, more and more people are practicing sports as a leisure activity or as a profession. Practicing sports starts at a young age, evolves through solo activities or in sports clubs and academies, and peaks at the professional and elite level. The goals of physical exercise and sports are health, wellbeing and, ultimately, athletic performance. We know that oral health is an important contributor to well-being and overall health; we also know that good oral health is a key element of good athletic performance.
■THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTS MEDICINE IN RECENT YEARS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO HEALTHIER ATHLETES AND BETTER PERFORMANCE.
▲Sports medicine has also evolved into a multidisciplinary field in which sports dentistry is expected to be a key element. Sports dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with the prevention and treatment of the pathologies and injuries of the stomatognathic system related to sports and exercise. The stomatognathic system is the anatomical and functional system comprising the teeth, jaws, associated soft tissues, facial muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The condition of the stomatognathic system has a direct impact on overall health, performance and on the risk of injury in individuals who practice sports.
▲Certain dental problems, such as non-carious cervical lesions or caries, may come from overtraining, an unfavourable diet, a parafunctional load, or a lack of oral hygiene education. Swimmers are particularly at risk for dental erosion due to acidic aqueous environments. Sports beverages and related food supplements can also cause complications in the mouth, including damage to dental hard tissues and dental materials, due to their high-levels of free sugars and acidic ingredients. In addition, amateur and elite athletes face a greater risk of oral injuries because they may not receive sufficient guidance and/or training in proper protection. Finally, dental prescriptions may also affect performance or be classified as banned substances by anti-doping authorities.
