CE event:
Dental Mouthguard Update: Review of Type, Design, and Function
John F. Wisniewski, DMD, MS
The purpose of this presentation is to review the design of the various mouthguards that are available on the market today. Discussion of specific aspects for each mouthguard will include type, design, function, method of fabrication, accessibility for purchase and cost.
Typical reasons for athletes not wearing mouthguards include: (1) “It’s not comfortable or doesn’t fit right.” (2) “I can’t speak to my teammates.” (3) “It’s hard to breathe.” and (4) “I can’t drink with it.” Athletes playing in sports such as basketball, soccer, baseball, skateboarding, skiing, etc., often play their sport without dental protection because of these reasons. However, athletes, who play sports such as football, hockey and lacrosse, are forced to wear mouthguards due to rules and regulations.
A laboratory custom-made mouthguard claims to allow athletes to speak, breathe and drink with comfort. A review of the results of the evidenced-based clinical studies will be discussed.
Following this presentation, attendees will be able to
- Discuss the dynamics and changing characteristics of “today’s mouthguards”.
- Understand the association between custom-made mouthguards and the mitigation of head injuries
- Understand how the compliance of mouthguard usage in sports can be increased.
