Brief summary

It is essential that athletes have perfect general health. Oral health plays an important role in this healthy framework necessary so that the results that must be achieved by athletes are not influenced. Inflammatory and / or infectious processes such as periodontal disease, caries, or even joint problems such as temporomandibular joint dysfunction can affect performance or impair participation in training and competitions.

Detailed description

The objective of this longitudinal clinical study will be to evaluate the effect of dental treatment on individuals who practice physical activities through physical parameters of strength, speed and resistance. According to an initial survey, about 120 individuals should be examined. Clinical parameters such as decayed, lost and / or filled dental index and periodontal parameters such as probing depth (PS), clinical level of insertion (NCI), plaque index (IP) and bleeding index (IS) will be evaluated . Physical tests of strength, speed and resistance should be performed and periodontal therapy should be performed according to the needs presented by each individual. After 90 days, new clinical examinations and physical tests should be performed. The results obtained should be tabulated and analyzed. The investigators believe that individuals with oral inflammation / infection, the physical performance should be higher after performing periodontal therapy. Pro inflammatory cytokines present in high concentrations in the presence of periodontal disease can influence fatigue and difficulty in recovering from injuries, variables so important in an athlete's life.

Interventions

PROCEDUREDental Scaling

The individuals will be treated by a single periodontist and the scaling and root planing procedures will be performed on all teeth as follows: local anesthetic infiltrative type of the areas to be treated, dental and root scaling using Grace 5/6 carbon steel curettes, 11/12, 13/14 and MacCall 13/14, 17/18 curettes, according to their therapeutic indications. Polishing the quadrants treated with abrasive paste; oral hygiene instructions including Bass toothbrushing, dental floss and sometimes inter-dental brush.

Oral hygiene instructions should be given to all study participants. Guidance on the most appropriate toothbrush, toothpaste and interproximal cleaning method.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Probing depth90 daysEvaluation of Probing depth, from the gingival margin to the end of the periodontal sulcus
Clinical attachment level90 daysevaluation of clinical attachment level, from the enamel cementum junction to the end of the periodontal sulcus
Gingival index90 daysevaluation of bleeding on probing
Plaque index90 daysevaluation of the accumulation of bacterial plaque around the teeth
DMF index90 daysevaluation of teeth decayed, missed or filled
Aerobic running performance evaluation test90 daysRun of 100 meters and time obtained in seconds and thousands of a second
critical speed in swimming90 daysswim 25 meters, time measured in minutes and seconds
Body mass index90 daysThe BMI calculation must be done using the following mathematical formula: Weight ÷ height x height.
Muscle strength through the 1RM test on the bench press90 daysIt is the maximum amount of weight lifted once while performing a standardized weightlifting exercise. To test 1 RM of a muscle group, such as elbow flexors or knee extensors, a weight is chosen at the exercise device, but below the individual's maximum lifting capacity. If a repetition is completed, weight is added to the exercise device. Until the maximum lifting capacity is launched.
short-term heart rate variability at rest90 daysTo measure heart rate variability, we will use Polar S810i® frequency meter to obtain RR interval series for each individual, at rest, for 5 minutes; posteriorly, analysis will be performed using linear and non-linear indices.
