Dental-related injuries continue to occur in high incidence in sporting events. Many of these injuries are preventable although the use of protective mouthguards remains sparce unless the rules of a particular sport explicitly dictate use during participation. Thus many athletes sustain dental-related injuries resulting in deformity and discomfort which may persist throughout their lives. Acute management of these injuries often determines the extent to which the dental disability is recoverable. It is essential that those health care professionals working directly with the athletes during competition reinforce the importance of protection and prevention as well as refine the skills necessary for immediate management of the injuries. Guidelines for management of dental injuries should be established by the team dental consultant and should be reviewed continually by team athletic trainers and team physicians. Often the primary care professional will determine the fate and ultimate recovery from the variety of dental injuries encountered regularly in sports.
与牙齿相关的损伤在体育赛事中仍高发。尽管使用防护牙套的情况仍然很少，除非特定运动的规则明确规定在参与过程中必须使用，但这些损伤中有许多是可以预防的。因此，许多运动员遭受与牙齿相关的损伤，导致畸形和不适，这些可能会伴随他们一生。对这些损伤的急性处理往往决定了牙齿残疾可恢复的程度。在比赛期间直接与运动员合作的医护人员必须强化保护和预防的重要性，并提升对损伤进行即时处理所需的技能。牙齿损伤的处理指南应由团队牙科顾问制定，并应由团队运动训练师和团队医生持续审查。通常，初级保健专业人员将决定在体育活动中经常遇到的各种牙齿损伤的预后和最终恢复情况。
