      abstract = {Sports dentistry is an emerging discipline dedicated to preventing and treating oral and maxillofacial injuries, which are particularly frequent in contact sports. Athletes engaged in activities such as football, rugby, hockey, and martial arts are exposed to a higher risk of traumatic impacts that can result in dental fractures, avulsions, luxations, and soft tissue injuries. Preventive strategies, including the consistent use of custom-made mouthguards, regular dental check-ups, and targeted education programs, have proven effective in reducing the incidence and severity of these injuries. When prevention fails, rapid and specialized treatment is essential to restore oral health, preserve aesthetics, and maintain the athlete?s confidence and performance. Advances in biomaterials, restorative dentistry, and emergency protocols have enhanced the prognosis of traumatic injuries, while interdisciplinary collaboration between dentists, physicians, and coaches ensures a comprehensive approach to athlete care. The integration of sports dentistry into athletic training and medical teams highlights the recognition of oral health as a key factor in overall well-being and career longevity. Emphasizing prevention through education and access to specialized treatment not only protects athletes from debilitating injuries but also contributes to optimal performance and quality of life.},
