Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Avaliar, através dum questionário: a prevalência de traumatismos orais em atletas
federados de basquetebol, com idades dos 14 aos 18 anos; os conhecimentos destes atletas
relativamente às atitudes a tomar após a ocorrência de um traumatismo oral; a prevalência do
uso de protetores bucais nos atletas federados de basquetebol, na mesma faixa etária.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal. Dados relativos aos
traumatismos dentários e ao uso de protetor bucal, foram recolhidos através dum questionário
colocado a 54 atletas federados de basquetebol, com idades entre os 14 e 18 anos. Os dados
obtidos foram analisados através do IBM ® SPSS® v.26.0 Statistics. A comparação de grupos
ou associação entre variáveis foi realizada através de testes não-paramétricos. Foi considerado
um nível de significância de 0,05 (α=0,05).
Resultados: Na amostra, verificou-se uma prevalência de traumatismos orofaciais de 59,3%.
Não foi encontrada relação entre o conhecimento das atitudes a tomar após uma fratura ou
avulsão e a idade, havendo, no entanto, associação estatisticamente significativa dessa variável
com o tempo de prática de basquetebol. Constatou-se fraca relação entre o conhecimento das
atitudes a tomar e ter sofrido/observado a ocorrência de um traumatismo. A maioria dos
inquiridos demonstrou saber o que é um protetor bucal (96,2%) e considerar importante o seu
uso (57,4%), no entanto, apenas 2 atletas afirmaram utilizar (3,7%).
Conclusões: Os traumatismos orofaciais são um problema de saúde publica devido à sua
prevalência significativa, particularmente em atletas. Neste sentido, é premente sensibilizar os
atletas, mal iniciam a atividade desportiva, para a prevenção destas lesões.
Purpose: Evaluate, through a questionnaire: the prevalence of oral trauma in federated basketball athletes, in the 14 to 18 years old age groups; the knowledge of these athletes regarding the attitudes to be taken after the occurrence of an oral trauma; the prevalence of the use of mouthguards in the federated basketball athletes, in the same age group. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out. Data regarding dental trauma and the use of mouthguards were collected, through a questionnaire placed at federated basketball athletes, aged between 14 and 18 years. The data obtained were analysed through IBM ® SPSS® v.26.0 Statistics. The comparison of groups or association between variables was performed through non-parametric tests. A significance level of 0.05 was considered (α=0.05). Results: The sample showed a prevalence of orofacial trauma of 59.3%. No relationship was found between the knowledge of attitudes to be taken after the occurrence of a fracture or avulsion and age; however, there was a statistically significant association of this variable with basketball practice time. We found a weak relationship between the knowledge of the attitudes to be taken and having suffered/observed the occurrence of a trauma. Most of the respondents showed that they know what a mouth protector was (96.2%) and though that was important to use it (57.4%), however, only 2 athletes stated to use it (3.7%). Conclusion: Orofacial trauma is a public health problem due to its significant prevalence, particularly in athletes. For that reason, it is urgent to sensitize athletes as soon as they start their sports activity to prevent these injuries.
