Abstract

Background:  The aim of the present study was to examine the findings of the intraoral examinations of the 12-16 years old novice (control) and elite athletes across the winter sports branches, which were alpine discipline skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, ski jumping, and ice hockey. Besides, the study aimed to determine the intra- and inter-group relationships by comparing the athletes salivary stress biomarker levels at precompetition, during-match, and post-competition stages.

Methods:  Ninety-one athletes (71 elite, 20 novice) participated in our study. Oral health status of the athletes were evaluated. In addition, cortisol levels in the saliva samples obtained at pre-competition (rested before the competition), during-match (just before the start), and post-competition (competition ending moment) stages were measured. The data were analyzed statistically with a significance level of 0.05.

Results:  Ice hockey athletes were the most affected by untreated dental caries (27.3%). No signs of dental trauma caused by sports activities were found in the winter sports branches. Basic erosive wear examination scores of the ice hockey athletes were similar to the ski jumping athletes and lower than other groups (P=.034). The mean cortisol values between sports branches were listed as: biathlon alpine skiing < ice hockey < ski jumping (P < .001). Test results of the winter sports athletes' saliva samples revealed that their salivary stress levels might vary in accordance with the sports branches, and there was a negative relationship between the levels of salivary stress biomarkers in competitions and oral health.

Conclusion:  In winter sports activities, measures for improving oral health should be disseminated.

评估不同冬季运动项目青少年运动员的口腔和牙齿健康状况以及比赛压力水平。
研究背景 本研究旨在对12-16岁的新手(对照组)和精英运动员的口腔内检查结果进行研究,这些运动员参加的冬季运动项目包括高山滑雪、单板滑雪、冬季两项、跳台滑雪和冰上曲棍球。此外,研究还旨在通过比较运动员在赛前、赛中和赛后阶段的唾液压力生物标志物水平,确定组内和组间关系: 方法:91 名运动员(71 名精英,20 名新手)参加了我们的研究。对运动员的口腔健康状况进行了评估。此外,还测量了赛前(比赛前休息)、赛中(比赛开始前)和赛后(比赛结束时)阶段唾液样本中的皮质醇水平。对数据进行了统计分析,显著性水平为 0.05: 结果:冰上曲棍球运动员受未经治疗的龋齿影响最大(27.3%)。在冬季运动项目中,没有发现因体育活动造成的牙齿创伤迹象。冰球运动员的基本侵蚀磨损检查评分与跳台滑雪运动员相似,低于其他组别(P=0.034)。不同运动项目之间的皮质醇平均值分别为:冬季两项高山滑雪 < 冰上曲棍球 < 跳台滑雪(P < .001)。对冬季运动运动员唾液样本的检测结果显示,他们的唾液应激水平可能因运动项目的不同而不同,比赛中唾液应激生物标志物的水平与口腔健康之间存在负相关关系: 结论:在冬季体育活动中,应推广改善口腔健康的措施。
