Thus, the current study was conducted to analyze the athletes’ awareness of dental injuries among different sports in Kermanshah in 2014.In this descriptive-cross sectional study,120 athletes (60 men and 60 women) from different sports in Kermanshah were selected through convenience random sampling.

The findings showed significant relationship between athletes’ awareness of dental injuries and age, education and sport history; however, no significant correlation was reported between awareness of dental injuries and history of trauma, job status and different sports. Moreover, no significant relationship was shown between men (37.61) and women (37.97) regarding awareness of dental injuries.
