| description | This study was designed to examine the prevalence
of previously experienced maxillofacial injuries
in athletes engaging in combat sports and to investigate any possible
radiologic findings of dental and bone pathology that can be caused by
repetitive head (jaw) impacts. Thirty-two boxers
and thirty-two taekwondo athletes and sex-
and age-matched non-athletes control group participated in the study. A special questionnaire was used with questions on previously experienced maxillofacial trauma and mouthguard use.
Temporomandibular dysfunctions were also examined. Panoramic radiographs of the athletes and control group were examined by two radiologists. Both
athlete groups experienced significantly more dental (p lt; 0.059), temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) (p lt;0.05) and nasal (p lt;0.05)injury than non-athletes. In
addition, boxers experienced more TMJ (p lt;0.05)and nasal injury (p lt;0.05)
than taekwondo players. Although most of the athletes (96.9%) wore mouthguards
in sports competitions, few of them (9.4%) used the guards while training. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) was mostly examined in combat sport athletes
(p lt;0.05; X2=10.494).There was no statistically significant
difference between the athletes and the control group for the possible
radiologic findings of dental and bone pathology that could be caused by the repetitive head (jaw) impacts on panoramic radiographs (p gt;0.05). Athletes
engaging in combat sports, especially boxers, have
significantly more maxillofacial injuries. Therefore, they should be
educated to use more safety and protective guards not only in competitions but
also in training to prevent maxillofacial
injury. This is the first report of panoramic findings on dental and bone
pathology that could be caused by repetitive head (jaw) impacts. |
