Principales hábitos nocivos odontológicos para el alto rendimiento en deportes colectivos

espanolLa salud bucodental al integrarse en la salud general del deportista supone un aspecto esencial y a tener en cuenta. El proposito principal de esta investigacion es conocer aquellos habitos presentados por los deportistas de elite o alto rendimiento de la Comunidad Autonoma de Aragon que pueden degenerar en situaciones nocivas para su salud bucodental. Se incluyo a los deportistas aragoneses que competian en los principales equipos de la region tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Un total de 112 deportistas fueron sometidos a estudio. Un 59,8% de los deportistas analizados presenta apretamiento dentario o bruxismo; un 43,8% denota onicofagia o habito de morderse las unas; un 82,1% afirma respirar por la cavidad oral y de media acuden al dentista cada 14 meses. Los deportistas aragoneses que practican un deporte colectivo no presentan una elevada incidencia de habitos nocivos para su salud bucodental, si bien se podrian reducir implementando acciones multidisciplinares. EnglishOral health when integrated into the general health of the athlete is an essential aspect to take into account. The main purpose of this research is to know those habits presented by elite or high-performance athletes from the Autonomous Community of Aragon that can degenerate in situations harmful to their oral health. Aragonese athletes who competed in the main teams in the region were included both nationally and internationally. A total of 112 athletes were submitted to study. 59.8% of the athletes analyzed presented dental clenching or bruxism; 43.8% denotes onychophagy or nail-biting habit; 82.1% state that they breathe through the oral cavity and, on average, they go to the dentist every 14 months. Aragonese athletes who practice a collective sport do not have a high incidence of harmful habits for their oral health, although they could be reduced by implementing multidisciplinary actions.
