A training course was held at the College of Dentistry at Al-Qadisiyah University on biomechanical assessment of risks and preventive measures for oral and dental injuries.
Under the patronage of the President of Al-Qadisiyah University, Professor Dr. Rahi Kalf Mahdi Al-Yasiri, and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Dentistry, Professor Dr. Ali Hassan Ali Murad, the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Dentistry at Al-Qadisiyah University held a training course entitled “Biomechanical Assessment of Risks and Preventive Measures for Oral and Dental Injuries in Football Players.” Dr. Ahmed Hussein Mohammed lectured.
The course aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the biomechanical assessment of risks associated with oral and dental injuries in football and to review effective preventive measures to reduce these injuries. The research will address common types of injuries, their biomechanical mechanisms, and the protective role of mouthguards, in addition to the importance of health awareness and education.
The course recommended the mandatory use of dedicated mouthguards. Sports federations should seriously consider making the wearing of dedicated mouthguards mandatory for all football players, especially in younger age groups, to ensure maximum protection.
