Abstract

The authors assessed high-school athletic coaches' perceptions about oral-facial injuries and mouthguard use in sports that do not mandate mouthguard use. About 72 percent of the coaches said that their athletes sustained oral-facial injuries, 28 percent that some athletes used mouthguards regularly, 48 percent that athletes had sustained injuries and did not use mouthguards regularly, and 31 percent said they would not encourage mouthguard use. Advocacy for mouthguard use should focus on coaches, coaches' associations and rule-making organizations.

摘要

作者评估了高中体育教练对口腔面部损伤以及在不强制使用护齿器的运动中使用护齿器的看法。约72%的教练表示他们的运动员遭受过口腔面部损伤，28%表示一些运动员经常使用护齿器，48%表示运动员受过伤但未经常使用护齿器，31%表示他们不会鼓励使用护齿器。对护齿器使用的宣传应聚焦于教练、教练协会和规则制定组织。
