    Summary: This book aims to explore the intricate interrelationship between oral health and sport, with the focus on highly popular team games, endurance sports, and explosive events. In order to understand the vulnerability of athletes of all levels of ability to oral health problems, relevant aspects of sports physiology and training are outlined, as are the predisposing behavioral, psychological, and physiological elements. Specific sports-related oral risk factors are identified and detailed, and the dental conditions frequently observed in athletes are explained. The dental clinical reality of athletes reveals a wide spectrum of oral consequences, affecting both soft and hard tissues, that can adversely impact on training and competitiveness. Principles of dental management are highlighted, and therapeutic solutions provided for the most common dental lesions. Emphasis is placed on preventative measures and solutions adapted to the athlete's individual needs, as well as the importance of effective collaboration with a diverse team of professionals. The book will be of interest to dentists, health professionals, sports coaches, athletes, and teachers and students of dentistry and medical disciplines.

    The present experimental study in rats has demonstrated a marked difference in the healing process of anastomoses in the left colon following two different suture technics: continuous and interrupted sutures. Rats having anastomoses constructed of continuous suture showed a high incidence of complications and a marked decrease of collagen concentration in the anastomosis and in the colonic wall proximal to the anastomosis during the first week of healing. In animals with anastomoses made of interrupted sutures there were fewer complications, the decrease in collagen concentration was confined to the anastomotic region, and the recovery of collagen concentration occurred earlier. The findings indicate that the interrupted suture technic is preferable for anastomosis in the left colon.
