Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a common complication in sports, with an overall prevalence ranging from 0.71% to 60%. Kickboxing is a high-risk combat sport for trauma to the facial region.
A total of 142 5-to-65-year-old amateur athletes participated in the survey with a questionnaire that was released during their regular practice days. The questionnaire was structured into three parts: (1) questions about age, gender, type, and time of sports practice; (2) questions about dental injuries, personal experience, and awareness of emergency management, particularly about tooth avulsion; (3) questions about wearing a mouthguard for TDI prevention.
A total of 13 percent of athletes suffered a TDI while training or fighting. Regarding first aid, 61% of the participants in this survey are aware of the possibility of replanting a tooth after its avulsion; 10% believe that the tooth should be replanted within 15 min, and 37% of athletes believe that it should be kept wet. The mouthguard is known to the majority of athletes (94%), and 66% were informed by the coach; 68% of the athletes use it. Seventy-four percent of the mouthguards were purchased in a sports shop.
A relatively low prevalence of TDIs was observed in players in the sample. A lack of information about the emergency management of tooth avulsion and about the type of mouthguard to wear emphasizes the importance of educational training by dentists to athletes and coaches.
创伤性牙损伤（TDIs）是体育运动中常见的并发症，总体患病率在0.71%至60%之间。踢拳是一项面部创伤的高风险格斗运动。
共有142名5至65岁的业余运动员参与了调查，调查问卷在他们日常训练期间发放。问卷分为三个部分：（1）关于年龄、性别、运动项目类型和训练时间的问题；（2）关于牙损伤、个人经历以及应急处理意识的问题，特别是关于牙脱位；（3）关于佩戴护齿器预防TDIs的问题。
共有13%的运动员在训练或比赛时遭受了TDIs。关于急救，本调查中61%的参与者知道牙脱位后再植牙的可能性；10%的人认为应在15分钟内进行再植，37%的运动员认为应保持牙齿湿润。大多数运动员（94%）知道护齿器，66%是教练告知的；68%的运动员使用护齿器。74%的护齿器是在体育用品店购买的。
在样本中的运动员中观察到TDIs的患病率相对较低。关于牙脱位的应急处理以及应佩戴的护齿器类型的信息缺乏，凸显了牙医对运动员和教练进行教育培训的重要性。
