Uso de protetor bucal nos desportos de combate e a sua relação com a articulação temporomandibular

Abstract

Introdução: As lesões traumáticas na cavidade oral ocorrem predominantemente em atividades desportivas de alto risco, tais como desportos de contacto e desportos radicais. O Kickboxing e o Muay Thai são desportos que afetam, na maioria das vezes, a face e, consequentemente a articulação temporomandibular (ATM), sendo fatores traumáticos que predispõem a disfunções temporomandibulares (DTMs). Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência de traumatismos orofaciais/lesões na ATM durante a prática de Kickboxing e Muay Thai e a utilização de protetores bucais como meio de prevenção. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo e transversal, através da elaboração de um questionário a atletas de Kickboxing e Muay Thai, de competição e iniciação/manutenção e com idade superior a 18 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos de dezembro de 2019 a março de 2020, através do preenchimento de um questionário que foi disponibilizado online através da plataforma Google Forms. Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 152 indivíduos, praticantes de um total de 15 clubes desportivos e com uma média de idades de 28,5 anos. A prevalência relatada de traumatismos orofaciais foi de 35,5% sendo que destes atletas, cerca de dois terços (59,3%) usavam protetor bucal na altura do acontecimento. Em relação às DTMs, 51,3% dos atletas associa algum acidente durante a prática desportiva com a presença de sinais ou sintomas de distúrbios na ATM. A maioria dos atletas utiliza protetor bucal durante a prática desportiva (93,4%), sendo o protetor Tipo II (aquecido e adaptado) o mais utilizado (90,1%). Conclusão: O Kickboxing e Muay Thai são desportos de contacto muito violentos com grande prevalência para lesões orofaciais e disfunção da ATM, sendo por isso indispensável a utilização de protetores bucais para prevenção.

Introduction: Traumatic injuries in the oral cavity occur mostly in high-risk sports activities, such as contact or action sports. Kickboxing and Muay Thai often affect the face and, consequently, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can predispose to temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMDs). Purpose: Evaluate the prevalence of orofacial trauma/lesions in TMJ during Kickboxing and Muay Thai practice and the use of mouthguards as a mean of prevention. Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted, through the elaboration of a questionnaire to Kickboxing and Muay Thai athletes, competitors, or beginners/maintenance practitioners and over 18 years of age. The data was collected from December 2019 to March 2020, by completing a questionnaire that was available online through Google Forms platform. Results: The sample consisted of 152 individuals, belonging of 15 different sports clubs and with an average age of 28.5 years. The reported prevalence of orofacial trauma was 35.5% and of these athletes, about two thirds (59.3%) were using mouthguard at the time of the trauma event. Regarding TMDs, 51.3% of athletes associate some accident during sports practice with the presence of signs or symptoms of TMJ disorders. Most athletes use mouthguards during sports practise (93.4%), and type II protector (heated and adapted) is the most used (90.1%). Conclusion: Kickboxing and Muay Thai are extremely violent contact sports with a high prevalence for orofacial injuries and TMJ dysfunction, and therefore the use of mouthguards for prevention is indispensable.
