Comparing comfort and wearability: custom-made vs. self-adapted mouthguards

A K DeYoung et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Several studies have shown that mouthguards can reduce orofacial injuries among athletes. Comfort and wearability factors were compared among 40 high-school athletes for custom-made and self-adapted mouthguards. Both offered adequate protection, but overall the participants preferred the custom-made mouthguard.
