  • Title: Dental and Orofacial Injuries.
    Author: Piccininni P, Clough A, Padilla R, Piccininni G.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 2017 Apr; 36(2):369-405. PubMed ID: 28314423.
    Abstract:
    Oral and facial injuries are very common in sport, and can be very expensive to treat. Many of these injuries are preventable with proper pre-competition assessment and suitable well-designed protection. Prompt sideline identification and management of orofacial injuries and appropriate follow-up are crucial to successful outcomes. There have been significant recent advances in both trauma management and mouth guard design and fabrication techniques. Athletes have a unique set of challenges-including collisions, finances, travel and training, dehydration, sport beverages, and high carbohydrate diets-that may compromise their oral health.
