Abstract
Mouthguards are removable devices that reduce the risk of injuries in the oral and maxillofacial areas from sports activities and trauma. Mouthguards can be roughly divided into three types: stock, boil-and-bite, and custom. While all three types offer some degree of protection from injuries, custom mouthguards show superior adaptation and shock absorption. Various types of materials have been used and evaluated for their performance, and currently vacuum forming mouthguards with ethylene vinyl acetate material is the main way of fabrication.
These mouthguards require regular hygiene maintenance before and after wearing and periodic evaluation from dentists.
