Dental Trauma Prevention and Injury Measures Among Supervisors of German Elite Handball Teams: A Questionnaire-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Objectives
Dental trauma is a frequent injury in contact sports such as handball an basketball. This study aimed to evaluate preventive measures in dental traumatology and assess the knowledge of medical teams in elite German handball and basketball.
Material and Methods
From March to June 2024, supervisors of 1st and 2nd German Bundesliga handball (HB) and basketball (BB) teams were invited via email to complete an online questionnaire (Socey Survey). The survey addressed preventive measures, management of dental and dentoalveolar trauma, the importance of education, and behavioral guidelines.
Results
A total of 31 of 165 supervisors participated (response rate 19%; HB: 42% [n = 28], BB: 3% [n = 3]). Analyses focused on HB due to the limited number of BB responses. Most HB supervisors (82%) reported checking tetanus immunization status. Although 39% recommended sports mouthguards, only 15% of players used them. During the 2022/2023 season, 29% of HB teams reported at least one dental trauma. Although 96% recognized the need for immediate dental care in pulp-involved trauma, only 64% were aware of dental rescue boxes, and 46% lacked one on the pitch. Clear differences were observed between leagues: 82% of 1st Bundesliga teams had a rescue box compared to 11% in the 2nd Bundesliga. Mouthguard use was also more common in the 1st Bundesliga.
Conclusions
In elite German handball, dental trauma prevention focuses primarily on tetanus vaccination, whereas sports mouthguards and dental rescue boxes receive less attention. Targeted education and awareness campaigns for coaches and players may improve the prevention, management, and treatment of dental injuries.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
