Abstract(s)
Uma grande parte da população pratica desporto, esta prática tem muitos benefícios para a
saúde mas qualquer prática desportiva pode também acarretar alguns riscos associados de
traumatismos ou lesões. Este risco variam segundo a modalidade desportiva que se pratique e a
respectiva intensidade com que se pratica.
As modalidades que fizeram parte deste estudo são o futebol, o basquetebol, o andebol e o
rugby. Estas modalidades têm uma série de características em comun, todas elas são desportos
de equipa, onde é comum o contacto e consequentemente a probabilidade de ocorrerem
traumatismos.
O objectivo do estudo é determinar quais são as causas dos traumatismos oro-faciais, tipo de
traumatismos mais frequentes, em que situações se produzem os traumatismos, determinar a
prevalência do uso do protetores bucais nos atletas inquiridos e obter dados sobre a opinião dos
atletas no que respeita à importância da saúde oral nos desportistas e se têm conhecimentos
sobre como actuar quando sofrem uma lesão .
Recorreu-se a uma amostra de 213 atletas de quatro modalidades desportivas, sendo 105
homens e 108 mulheres de idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 43 anos sendo que lhes foi
pedido para preencherem um questionário de resposta fechada.
Em 66,2% dos atletas inquiridos, refere que a saúde oral afeta o seu rendimento desportivo, a
maior parte (63,8%) não conhece os procedimentos a seguir em caso de sofrer um traumatismo.
Em 43,2% dos inquiridos sofreram traumatismos na zona oro-facial e destes 43,5% acham que
esse traumatismo prejudicou o seu rendimento desportivo, 38% interromperam mesmo a pratica
desportiva como consequência desse traumatismo. Para a maior parte dos atletas (56,2%), o
traumatismo ocorreu durante a competição e a causa principal foi o impacto contra outro
jogador.
De entre as modalidades desportivas avaliadas os praticantes de futebol, 25% sofreram
traumatismos na zona oro-facial; de entre os que jogam andebol, esta percentagem
aumentou para 74,1%, para o basquetebol 31,4% e 41,1% para o rugby.
O uso do protetor bucal é reduzido entre os atletas, excepto nos jogadores de rugby
onde é usado por 83,9% dos jogadores enquanto que nas outras modalidades o seu uso
variou entre o 5,8% e o 14,8%.
Much of the population practices sports. Practicing sports has many health benefits but like in any sport, practicing them can also bring some risks such as traumas or injuries. This risk varies according to the sport that practice and its intensity with which one practices. The sports that I choose to be part of this study were football, basketball, handball and rugby. These sports have some things in common, like for example they are a team sports game, where there’s a lot of contact between the players and due to this they can have trauma injuries. The goal of this study is to determine what are the causes of oro-facial trauma, what are the most common types of trauma, in what situations can we have a trauma situation, also I want to determine the prevalence of the use of mouthguards in the athletes that respond to my questions, and if this athletes are aware of the importance of oral health in sports, and if they have the knowledge of how to act when they suffer an injury. To make this study, I gathered a group of 213 athletes of four sports game (10 5 men and 108 womens) with ages between 15 and 43 years old. I asked them to answer some questions. 66,2% of the athletes, know that the oral health affects their performance, 66,8% doesn’t know how to treat the trauma injuries. 43,2% of them have suffered oro-facial traumas and 43,5 % of this athletes have confirmed that this type of injuries affected them and their performance, and 38% stopped practicing sports due to this type of trauma injuries. Most of the athletes (56,2%), the trauma injury occurred during competition and the main cause was the impact against other players. Football players (25%), handball players (74%), basketball players (31,4%) rugby players (41,1%) had oro-facial trauma. Most of the athletes don’t use mouthguards protection, except the rugby players (83,9% use mouthguard protection). In the others sports 5,8% and 14,8% use this type of protection.
