Abstract :
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects
of protein, creatine, and amino acid supplements on the
dental health of physique builders. A comparison was
made between the oral health status of bodybuilders who
take protein supplements and those who do not.
METHODS: This cross sectional observational study
was conducted in city of Pune, Maharashtra, India.
survey was conducted and executed in months of August
to October 2023. Clinical examination and data
collection was mainly done at gym training centres in
local areas of Pune City to collect the data from target
population I.e. Bodybuilders.
RESULTS: Comparison between bodybuilders taking
protein supplements and non protein supplements gave
highly significant difference in P value of DMFT(
Decayed missing, filled) , OHI-S ( Oral hygiene index
simplified) and GI ( Gingival index) . Bodybuilders
Taking supplements showed higher mean valuesCONCLUSION: Participants in the study who were
protein supplements taking bodybuilders had
significantly higher mean SD and DMFT , OHIS and GI
scores than non protein taking bodybuilders.
Furthermore, consuming more protein on a regular basis
may be directly linked to greater dental caries
accumulation and gingivitis, but consuming different
types of supplements—whether protein-based or a
combination of supplements—may be linked to plaque
and gingival scores. The cause of bodybuilders' oral
hygiene because of protein supplements also can be
associated with negligence towards oral health, presence
of habits , improper brushing habits
