Abstract
In modern life, several accidents and/or sports cause injuries to the tooth and maxillofacial bone. The use of a mouth guard or mouth piece can prevent such injuries and the resultant trauma. This study was designed to describe how to individual mouth guards should be constructed as per the clinical indication. Three types of mouth guards are introduced, including the press type, vacuum type, and readymade type; we also describe the materials, procedure, and applications for indication for these mouth guards to prevent tooth fracture or mandible/maxillary bone fracture. We believe that our findings will contribute toward the prevention and protection from tooth fracture or maxillofacial bone fracture, with the use of appropriate mouth guards or mouth pieces for individual cases as per their sports or other activities.
