dc.description.abstractBackground: The study aims to investigate and evaluate the potential impacts of oral health problems on athletes' health and performance. Methods : This study was carried out with 149 female athletes over 18. Survey questions were prepared to evaluate the oral-dental health and injury status of the athletes. SPSS 22.0 program was used for statistical analysis. Correlation, ANOVA, and crosstabs analyses were carried out within the scope of the research. It was accepted as the level of significance (p<0.05). Results : A significant difference was found between the frequency of brushing the teeth of the participants in one day, whether there was tooth loss, and the reasons for tooth loss (p<0.05; p=0.046). There was a weak and strong positive correlation between the presence of oral and dental diseases of the participants and their difficulty in participating in the training due to muscle system problems (p<0.05; p=0.001). Conclusion: To maintain good health and performance, oral health is a crucial factor for all athletes. It is without a doubt that bad oral health directly influences the life quality and health of the athlete. For this reason, this study states that oral health is a key factor that should be taken proper care of for athletes to be in their total health and performance.en_US
