Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti stavove vaterpolista i ragbijaša o sportskim dentalnim štitnicimate njihove navike korištenja takvih štitnika.
Materijali i metode: Ovo istraživanje provedeno je tijekom akademske godine 2018./2019. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 mladih sportaša, od čega ih se 16 bavilo vaterpolom, a 14 ragbijem. Sudjelovanje u istraživanju bilo je dobrovoljno, a sastojalo se od dva dijela – izrade individualnih dentalnih štitnika i ispunjavanja anketnog upitnika o poznavanju i korištenju sportskih dentalnih štitnika te procijeni zadovoljstva dentalnim štitnikom korištenjem vizualno-analogne ljestvice (engl. VisualAnalogueScale, VAS)za šest odabranih kategorija (Disanje, Govor, Suhoća usta, Žeđ, Stabilnost, Zadovoljstvo), na početku istraživanja i nakon tri mjeseca.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 30 ispitanika muškog spola, 16 vaterpolista I 14 ragbijaša, prosječne dobi 14 godina (13-15 godina). Dentalni štitnik koristilo je 11 (36,7%) ispitanika i prije uključivanja u ovo istraživanje, a svi su bili ragbijaši. Ragbijašima je značajno češće bilo preporučeno korištenje dentalnih štitnika za prevenciju dentalnih ozljeda tijekom bavljenja sportom (85,7% ragbijaša vs. 43,8% vaterpolista, P=0,026). Tri mjeseca nakon početka istraživanja svi ragbijaši (100%) i 12 (75%) vaterpolista koristili su izrađene individualne dentalne štitnike te ih je jednak broj smatrao da bi dentalni štitnici trebali biti obavezni tijekom bavljenja sportom. S obzirom na zadovoljstvo vaterpolista individualnim dentalnim štitnikom procijenjeno VAS ljestvicom u šest odabranih kategorija nakon tri mjeseca korištenja pokazano je statistički značajno poboljšanje s obzirom na početak istraživanja u dvije kategorije – disanje i govor, dok je među ragbijašima nakon tri mjeseca korištenja pokazano značajno poboljšanje zadovoljstva u svim ispitanim kategorijama osim žeđi.
Zaključak:Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazali su da ragbijaši češće koriste dentalne štitnike u odnosu na vaterpoliste. Nakon tri mjeseca korištenja individualnih dentalnih štitnika poboljšala se subjektivna procjena utjecaja dentalnih štitnika na govor i disanje u obje ispitivane skupine. Također, u ragbijaša se značajno poboljšalo zadovoljstvo dentalni štitnicima, dok se u vaterpolista nije mijenjalo.
Abstract (english) Objective: Water polo and rugby represent contact sports with high incidence of sports-related orofacial and dental injuries. The objective of this research was to evaluate water polo and rugby players’ attitudes and habits about individual mouthguards.
Methods:This study was conducted during the academic year 2018/2019. There were 30 young athletes who participated in the study, 16 water polo players and 14 rugby players.
Participation was voluntary and consisted of two parts – each athlete was provided with an individual mouthguard and they filled out a questionnaire about their knowledge and use of
sport mouthguards. Also, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire, assessing breathing,communication, oral dryness, thirst, stability and overall satisfaction was administered at the beginning and three months after using mouthguards.
Results: There were 30 male participants included in this study, 16 water polo players and 14 rugby players, aged 14 years (13-15 years).Only 11 participants (36.7%) were using a mouthguard prior to the participation in the study, all of them rugby players. Rugby players were more frequently advised for the use of mouthguards(85.7% rugby players vs. 43.8%water polo players, P=0,026).All rugby players and 12 (75%) water polo players used individual mouthguards after three months of the study period and they considered mouthguards should be mandatory during their sport activities, as well. According to the VAS scale assessments after three months of mouthguards use there were statistically significant improvements in water polo players intwo categories – breathing and speech, while there were significant improvements in all categories except thirst in rugby players.
Conclusion:Results of this study showed that rugby players used mouthguards more often than water polo players. Subjective evaluation of individual mouthguards impact on breathing and speech improved in both, water polo and rugby players, after three months of use. Overall satisfaction with individual mouthguards improved significantly in rugby players after three months of use, while it did not change in water polo players.
