Objective: The main goal of this research is to compare the oral status of contact athletes with non-athletes. Study design: The research was conducted in the form of case-control study. Participants and Methodology: The research included 40 participants from 18 to 44 years old. Half (20) of the respondents were case group and half were control group. Case group were athletes who practiced contact sports such as football, water polo and boxing. The other 20 respondents were part of the control group, coincidental visitors of Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health in Osijek. A clinical examination was performed on all subjects: BEWE test, pH test of saliva after training, DMFT index, FMBS index and FMPS index were recorded. All subjects answered whether or not they had dentoalveolar trauma. Results: The variability between contact athletes and non-athletes is present in FMPS (p=0.01), FMBS (p=0.01) index, BEWE (p=0.03) and pH test (p=0.004). DMFT index of contact athletes and the control group does not show statistically significant difference. Observing the sex of the subjects, there was no statistically significant difference in the variables of the DMFT index, FMPS, FMBS index, pH and BEWE test, although some differences were observed. It has been proven that there is no statistically significant difference in the results of DMFT, FMPS, FMBS index, BEWE and pH test with regard to the age groups, even though the values for the fourth age group differ from the others. Subjects exposed to dental trauma show higher values of DMFT, FMPS, FMBS index and BEWE test in contrast to those who did not have trauma, although there is no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Contact athletes have worse oral status than non-athletes. The observed variables show differences depending on gender, age group and the impact of trauma.
