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
