AB - Poor oral health in elite sport is a pressing issue, however little is known
about the periodontal status of professional footballers. The aim of this
study
was to examine the prevalence of periodontitis in a group of professional
footballers and its association with nutritional parameters and self-report
non-traumatic injuries. Additionally, we assessed its association with
anthropometric, dietary inflammatory load and self-reported muscular and/or
articular injuries. Twenty-two professional footballers were evaluated at the
beginning of the 2020-2021 season via full-mouth periodontal inspection,
anthropometric measurements and the application of the dietary inflammatory
index
through a food intake measurement of 24 h dietary recall on two different
days.
Self-reporting non-traumatic muscular and articular injuries for the past 6
months were recorded from each athlete. Then we compared clinical
measurements
according to the periodontal status and we correlated age, periodontal and
nutritional parameters. Overall, the prevalence of periodontitis was 40.9%
and
peri-implantitis was also observed. No significant differences were found
regarding age or nutritional parameters according to the periodontal status.
More
non-traumatic muscular events in the past 6 months were found in the
periodontitis group (55.6% vs. 38.4%), although the difference was
non-significant. Both clinical attachment loss, periodontal pocket depth and
the
periodontal epithelial surface area revealed a significant moderate
correlation
with the percentage of fat mass, muscle mass, muscle mass index and total
adipose
folds. This group of professional footballers showed an alarming prevalence
of
periodontitis. Further studies shall examine whether periodontitis and
periodontal treatment impact the performance of this group of athletes.
