BACKGROUND/AIMS: Snowboard riding has increased in popularity during the last decade and is also remarkable for its dramatic rise in association with serious injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nature of dental or orofacial trauma in snowboard riders in Turkey, as well as to investigate if adolescent and young adult snowboard riders were aware of any protective measures.
An epidemiological survey was carried out through interviews with 86 snowboard riders in Turkey.
Seventeen snowboard riders had been affected by orofacial trauma. Results revealed that all snowboarders were aware of helmet protection whereas 50 out of 86 (58%) reported that they used them. It should be concluded that from the moment a youngster begins to practice snowboard riding, (s)he should be encouraged to wear a helmet and a properly fitted mouthguard as part of the necessary protection for them to safely enjoy their sport.
背景/目的：在过去十年中，单板滑雪的受欢迎程度有所增加，并且与严重受伤的关系也非常显著。本研究的目的是评估土耳其单板滑雪者的口腔或颌面外伤的性质，并调查青少年和年轻成年单板滑雪者是否意识到任何保护措施。
通过对土耳其 86 名单板滑雪者的访谈进行了一项流行病学调查。
有 17 名单板滑雪者受到了颌面外伤的影响。结果表明，所有的单板滑雪者都知道头盔的保护作用，而 86 名滑雪者中有 50 名（58%）表示他们使用了头盔。应该得出的结论是，从年轻人开始练习单板滑雪的那一刻起，（他/她）就应该被鼓励戴上头盔和合适的护齿套，作为他们安全享受运动的必要保护措施的一部分。
