Polmann H, Melo G, Réus JC, et al. - In combat sports candidates, researchers conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the prevalence of dentofacial injuries ie, teeth, alveolar bone, jaw, lips, and/or cheek bones. Studies assessing the prevalence of dentofacial injuries among participants in combat sports have been considered eligible. Twenty-seven were finally included from 1,104 articles found on all databases. Boxing, capoeira, fencing, jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, kendo, kick-boxing, kung-fu, muay-thai, sumo, taekwondo, wrestling, and wushu were the following sports examined. Outcomes from the meta-analysis indicated a dental pooled prevalence of 25.2% and dentofacial pooled prevalence of 30.3. Jiu-jitsu had the highest pooled prevalence of dentofacial injuries, considering the categories of sports individually, while judo was the sport with the lowest pooled prevalence. Boxing had the highest prevalence of dental injuries among Panamerican sports. Findings suggested that increasing awareness about the frequency of such injuries could encourage the use of protective devices and reduce complications associated with such incidents.
