- Abstract
The dentistry practice must be part of a protocol in the beginning and periodically of the health attention before and during sports practice. First of all, the dentist used to privilege the athlete only with custom-made mouthguard, mainly in contact sports with the aim of prevention of trauma. Now a day, this attention must be higher to promote health, get the athletic rates to the limit and not only prevent trauma. A proposal has been given here, based in a literature review, as a protocol of oral health attention into a cycle of four moments. Firstly, the elimination of infectious sites must be done. Secondly, oral breathing and malocclusion treatment is indicated. In the third moment, oral rehabilitation treatment and in the last, maintenance and control of oral health reached will be done through oral education and preventive dentistry. Sports health attention is a multidisciplinary area and dentistry is a part of it.
