Abstract(s)
A maior parte dos atletas procura novos métodos para melhorar a sua performance. Têm surgido
vários estudos sobre o uso de uma goteira oclusal para melhorar o desempenho dos atletas
mesmo sem disfunções temporomandibulares.
O objetivo desta revisão narrativa foi tentar de esclarecer, através da análise da literatura
existente, se a aplicação de um dispositivo intraoral pode de facto melhorar a performance do
atleta.
A metodologia consistiu numa pesquisa efetuada nas bases de dados Pubmed, Medline, Scielo
e Google Académico.
A aplicação de uma goteira oclusal poderá ter impacto no rendimento físico do atleta, no entanto
os resultados não são concordantes nas várias tipologias de performance analisadas e por isso
serão necessários mais estudos com maior duração, amostras maiores, métodos de pesquisa
mais padronizados de forma a esclarecer o papel da goteira no âmbito desportivo.
Most athletes are constantly looking for new methods to improve their performance. For many years it has been discussed the supposed utility of using an occlusal splint to improve the performance of athletes even without temporomandibular disorders. The purpose of this narrative review was to try to clarify, through the analysis of the existing Literature, if the application of an intraoral device can improve the performance of the athlete. The methodology consisted of a search conducted on databases Pubmed, Medline, Scielo e Google Scholar. It seems that the craniofacial muscles have some influence on the remaining muscles of the body. The application of an occlusal splint yielded discordant results in the various performance typologies analyzed, so we can conclude that more studies with duration and larger sample and a more standardized research method are needed.
