abstract="A stratified epidemiological survey was carried  out among the best French rugby players to assess the prevalence of trauma to  the lower or middle part of the face (TLMPF) and the frequency at which the  mouthguards (MGs) were worn. The 1140 randomized players (elite 1, elite 2 and  national 1 clubs) filled in the same form anonymously. The variables were first  subjected to univariate analysis (Chi-square, anova). Secondly, they were  included in a multivariate model (logistic regression). Some 29.57% of players  had already been affected by a TLMPF. The risk increased for the oldest forward  players. It also increased with the number of yearly competitions and number of  hours of weekly training. Some 64.3% of players used a MG. The frequency at  which it was worn increased with the number of yearly competitions, for those  who had experinced a previous trauma and for the pack players who had been  playing for a long time.",
