Abstract

Prevention of orofacial injuries is one of the biggest pre-occupations in sports dentistry. The custom-fitted mouthguard is considered the best choice for fit and protection when compared to over-the-counter commercial mouthguards. However, cost and time prohibit their mass production. It is therefore imperative to have an over-the-counter true mouth-formed mouthguard with comparable properties. The present in vitro experimental study was carried out to compare the shock absorption ability of EVA laminate mouthguards with self-adapting polyolefin material mouthguards in three different anterior teeth alignments.
