The questionnaire included information about demographics, sports participation, injury history (including both soft and hard tissue injuries), mechanisms of injury, and use of protective gear. A pilot study confirmed the reliability of the questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.829. A two\u2010stage sampling method was employed, which involved randomly selecting clubs from a list provided by the General Sports Federation and then randomly sampling 20% of players from each club.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall prevalence of OT was found to be 45.5%. Age and type of sport significantly affected injury patterns; although males exhibited a slightly higher prevalence, this difference was not statistically significant. The highest injury rate (52.5%) was seen among athletes with 1\u20135\u2009years of experience. The 12\u201316 age group was more likely to experience extra\u2010oral soft tissue injuries (39%), followed by dental injuries (23.5%). Falls were identified as the most frequent mechanism of injury, with the highest injury rates (53.2%) occurring during training sessions. Overall, the use of protective gear was low (27.3%), and while injured athletes were less likely to use such gear, this difference was not statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights the significant burden of OT among young athletes in Damascus and emphasizes the urgent need for improved prevention strategies, particularly promoting the use of protective gear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.70015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T10:37:51Z","timestamp":1757327871000},"page":"187-194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Epidemiology of Orofacial Trauma in Syrian Pediatric Athletes: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study on Prevalence and Injury Patterns"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6884-3505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taimaa Riad","family":"Hamdan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry Damascus University  Damascus Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9877-3217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayssoon","family":"Dashash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Damascus University  Damascus Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780198789277.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/dj9030033"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200232070-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mcna.2014.08.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","volume-title":"Traumatic Dental Injuries: A Manual","author":"Andreasen J.
