Knowledge and prevalence of dental trauma on a population of soccer players
Aim: The study aimed to assess the incidence of dental and orofacial injuries and knowledge about emergency therapeutic procedures for dental injuries in football players. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of active football players of all football leagues in Croatia by an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of four parts (demographic data, knowledge regarding urgent therapeutic procedures in case of dental injury, self-reported experience of orofacial and dental injuries and preventive measures, including the use of mouthguards). Results: 393 subjects with an average age of 23.93±5.03 participated in the study. The respondents with a master’s degree education show a statistically significantly higher level of knowledge than those with a bachelor’s degree (4.0±3.5 versus 2.5±2.6, P=0.002). In addition, those respondents who experienced dental injuries (18.6%) demonstrated a statistically significantly (P=0.022) higher level of knowledge (3.6±2.9) compared to those who had not (2.7±2.9). Only 16.0% of the respondents use mouthguards, most often individual ones. Conclusion: The football players included in this study showed inadequate knowledge regarding urgent therapeutic procedures in case of dental injury and did not take the necessary preventive measures. Therefore, from the obtained results, it is evident that additional education for football players is needed to prevent dental injuries and take proper procedures when urgently taking care of them.
