Evaluation of Oral Condition and the Effect of Dental Treatment on Physical Parameters of Athletes

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Periodontal Diseases; Caries,Dental; Inflammation Gum
• Interventions: Procedure: Dental Scaling; Other: Oral hygiene instruction

• Registration Number: NCT04251858
• Lead Sponsor: Universidade Metropolitana de Santos

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Athletes with oral problems	Oral hygiene instruction	Athletes with periodontal diseases or gingivitis
Athletes with oral problems	Dental Scaling	Athletes with periodontal diseases or gingivitis

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gingival index	90 days	evaluation of bleeding on probing
DMF index	90 days	evaluation of teeth decayed, missed or filled
Body mass index	90 days	The BMI calculation must be done using the following mathematical formula: Weight ÷ height x height.
Probing depth	90 days	Evaluation of Probing depth, from the gingival margin to the end of the periodontal sulcus
short-term heart rate variability at rest	90 days	To 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.
Clinical attachment level	90 days	evaluation of clinical attachment level, from the enamel cementum junction to the end of the periodontal sulcus
Plaque index	90 days	evaluation of the accumulation of bacterial plaque around the teeth
Aerobic running performance evaluation test	90 days	Run of 100 meters and time obtained in seconds and thousands of a second
critical speed in swimming	90 days	swim 25 meters, time measured in minutes and seconds
Muscle strength through the 1RM test on the bench press	90 days	It 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.
