Vol. 14 – Number 53 – 2022 NOTEBOOK OF CLINICAL DENTISTRY Case report Page 86-90 Dental traumatism in athlete – subluxation case report Gabriel Oliveira de Moura¹ Victor Paes Dias Gonçalves² ABSTRACT Dental attention can improve athletes’ performance, promoting oral health and preventing possible injuries resulting from sport practice. Oral diseases can interfere directly in the general health of the individual, while a traumatized dental element can cause physical, functional, aesthetic, and financial damage. In the case of the sportsmen, it is relevant that they protect themselves through the use of individualized mouthguards and maintain oral health so that they can have the best possible performance during their activities. This article aimed to describe the evaluation of dental trauma that occurred during sports practice, through a clinical case report, and the making of a personalized mouthguard. Descriptors: Oral health, sports, traumatic injuries in athletes. ¹ Specialist in Orthodontics – UNIGRANRIO, Graduated in Dentistry – UNIGRANRIO, Member of ABROE – Brazilian Academy of Sports Dentistry. ² Master’s Student in Implant Dentistry – SL Mandic, Esp. in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology, Member of ABROE – Brazilian Academy of Sports Dentistry.
