Sports Dentistry - Pavithra V Rao - Bog

Sports dentistry has begun additional research into the possibility that specially designed oral appliances may improve athletic performance. This will negate the need to use nicotine stimulants to improve performance and could improve athlete oral health by eliminating carcinogen usage and protecting the teeth from traumatic injury. Preventing and managing dento-alveolar trauma from sports injuries is a large task, but sports dentistry has become much more. Modern sports dentistry¿s aim is to protect and improve the oral health of all athletes, and by improvement of oral health, we improve the total health of our athlete patients.
