Resumo(s)
A saúde oral é uma componente essencial da saúde geral e pode impactar o desempenho físico, a recuperação e a qualidade de vida dos atletas de alto nível. Apesar disso, evidencia-se uma tendência à negligência dos cuidados de saúde oral nesse grupo, o que pode comprometer o seu rendimento desportivo. Desta forma, pretendeu-se analisar, através de uma revisão de escopo, as evidências disponíveis na literatura científica sobre as repercussões da saúde oral no desempenho de atletas de elite, identificando a prevalência das principais condições da cavidade oral e a sua possível relação com o desempenho desportivo. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, nas bases de dados online PubMed, ScienceDirect e b-on e foram considerados artigos publicados desde 2014 até 2024, seguindo as diretrizes PRISMA e aplicando critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Foram incluídos 30 estudos, com amostras variando de 30 a mais de 200 atletas, predominantemente adultos jovens, praticantes de diversas modalidades desportivas, tanto individuais quanto coletivas. A maioria dos estudos revelou uma elevada prevalência de cáries, erosão dentária, doenças periodontais e traumas orofaciais. Alguns estudos relataram associação entre más condições orais e impactos negativos percebidos no desempenho, incluindo dor, desconforto, uso de medicamentos e limitação funcional. Estudos comparativos indicaram que atletas de modalidades individuais apresentavam piores índices de saúde oral em relação aos de desportos coletivos. Concluiu-se que a saúde oral dos atletas de alto rendimento está frequentemente comprometida, com potencial repercussão negativa sobre o seu desempenho desportivo. A inclusão da Medicina Dentária no cuidado multidisciplinar dos atletas, através de ações preventivas, educativas e assistenciais, mostra-se fundamental para a manutenção da saúde geral e o suporte ao desempenho físico. Embora a relação causal direta entre saúde oral e desempenho ainda careça de estudos mais robustos, as evidências apontam para a importância de uma abordagem preventiva e integrada no contexto desportivo.
Oral health is an essential component of overall health and can impact the physical performance, recovery, and quality of life of high-level athletes. Despite this, there is a tendency for oral health care to be neglected in this group, which can compromise their athletic performance. Therefore, we aimed to analyze, through a scoping review, the evidence available in the scientific literature on the impact of oral health on the performance of elite athletes, identifying the prevalence of key oral cavity conditions and their possible relationship with athletic performance. A literature search was conducted in the online databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, and b-on, considering articles published from 2014 to 2024, following the PRISMA guidelines and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty studies were included, with sample sizes ranging from 30 to over 200 athletes, predominantly young adults, participating in various sports, both individual and collective. Most studies revealed a high prevalence of caries, dental erosion, periodontal disease, and orofacial trauma. Some studies have reported an association between poor oral health and perceived negative impacts on performance, including pain, discomfort, medication use, and functional limitations. Comparative studies have indicated that athletes in individual sports had worse oral health indices than those in team sports. The conclusion is that the oral health of high-performance athletes is often compromised, with potential negative repercussions on their athletic performance. The inclusion of dentistry in the multidisciplinary care of athletes, through preventive, educational, and supportive actions, proves essential for maintaining overall health and supporting physical performance. Although the direct causal relationship between oral health and performance still requires more robust studies, the evidence points to the importance of a preventive and integrated approach in the sports context.
