Assessment of oral hygiene status, caries experience, and prevalence of dental erosion among swimmers in Goa: A cross-sectional study.
Researchers examined oral health in professional and trainee swimmers in Goa, finding that professional swimmers had higher caries rates, poorer oral hygiene, and significantly greater dental erosion prevalence (66% versus 18%) than trainees, likely due to longer chlorinated water exposure.
