This study was carried out to determine the oral health condition and treatment needs of Special Olympics athletes in Brazil.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study is a retrospective review of oral health data collected from athletes participating in Healthy Athletes Program Special Olympics in Brazil, between the years 2015 and 2019. About 1241 athletes from the Brazil Special Olympics program were screened in the cities of S\u00e3o Paulo, Jundiai and Belo Horizonte (located in southeastern Brazil) and Recife (in northeastern Brazil). At each of these events, volunteer dental professionals performed an oral health screening for each athlete, All oral health assessments were done visually; and extra lighting were available if needed. The examinations were performed with the aid of a wooden spatula of the tongue depressor type and under natural light. The following parameters were recorded: mouth pain, untreated tooth decay, missing teeth, gingival signs, urgency and mouth hygiene habits. Data was analyzed using the STATA 14.0 program. Frequency tables were used for descriptive analyses. Categorical variables were compared between the different years of the event using the Chi\u2010Square or Fisher's Exact test. Continuous variables were compared between different event years using the Kruskal\u2010Wallis test followed by Dunn's post\u2010hoc analyses. Simple logistic regression was used to assess the effect of age on dental assessment results. For all tests, a <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value was considered significant when less than or equal to .05.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No statistically significant differences were observed in the frequencies of Mouth Pain and Missing Teeth over the years (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0.05). In relation to Untreated Tooth Decay, there is a higher frequency in the years 2016 and 2018 and a lower frequency in the year 2015 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.048). Regarding Gingival Signs of inflammation, there is a higher frequency in the years 2016 and 2018 and a lower frequency in the year 2017 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001). In relation to cases of urgency (in need of treatment (Urgent treatment need, Non\u2010Urgent or Maintenance)), there was a higher frequency (no urgency) in 2016 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.007). Finally, in relation to mouth hygiene habits, there is a higher frequency of participants with irregular habits in the years 2017 and 2019 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The dental condition of Brazilian athletes Special Olympycs Brazil reported in this study from 2015 to 2019 showed us that athletes have a high prevalence of dental diseases and these needs could contribute to health damage.
