The incidence of self\u2010reported dental injuries was 18.0% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a011), with the most common injury being crown tooth fracture (72.7%) and lip laceration (63.6%). However, the majority of the athletes (70.5%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a043) did nothing after experiencing dental trauma, and 82.0% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a050) were unaware of the immediate management of dental trauma. Based on the intraoral examination, only 9.8% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a06) of the athletes had perfectly sound teeth. The mean total DMFT index was 3.49\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.371, while the mean DMFT index for decayed, missing, and filled teeth was 1.28\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.293, 0.74\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.705, and 1.48\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.120, respectively. The mean DMFT index for decayed, missing, and filled teeth and total DMFT index significantly differed among the types of disabilities (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05) but not between the sexes (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The most commonly reported injuries among para\u2010athletes are crown tooth fractures and lip lacerations.
