Abstract
dental injuries and associated side effects are one of the most important concerns in oral health. Traumatic dental injuries may occur due to several factors, the most important of which is sport. Thus, the current study was conducted to analyze the athletes’ awareness of dental injuries among different sports in Kermanshah in 2014.In this descriptive-cross sectional study,120 athletes (60 men and 60 women) from different sports in Kermanshah were selected through convenience random sampling. Their awareness of dental injuries was assessed by a questionnaire and the obtained data were analyzed by SPSS-20 software using ANOVA and t-test. The findings showed significant relationship between athletes’ awareness of dental injuries and age, education and sport history; however, no significant correlation was reported between awareness of dental injuries and history of trauma, job status and different sports. Moreover, no significant relationship was shown between men (37.61) and women (37.97) regarding awareness of dental injuries. Athletes’ awareness of dental injuries among different sports was at a moderate level. Training workshops are suggested to enhance the athletes’ awareness of dental injuries.
