Abstract
Mouthguards are a vital piece of protective equipment for any athlete particpating in a variety of sports. The mouthguard acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect serious head and neck injuries. Mouth protectors may be divided into three types: the ready made or stock mouth protectors, the mouth-formed protector, and the custom-made protector. These three types of mouth protection will be described in detail and the procedure for implementing custom-made mouthguards into an athletic program will be explained. Choosing the proper type of mouthguard for your athletic program is an important decision that could affect the safety of the athletes and should not be taken lightly. Verf.-Referat
