The prevention of disfigurement from loss of or damage to a permanent incisor must be the aim in any caring society. The authors review the options for prevention of trauma, and conclude that the dentist can be of most practical assistance in two ways: by early reduction of pronounced overjets where appropriate, and especially by provision of well-fitting mouthguards for use in sports. The article continues with a critical appraisal of commercial forms of mouthguard, and gives a step-by-step guide to constructing a custom-made mouthguard.
在任何关爱社会中，预防因恒牙门牙缺失或损坏而导致的容貌损毁都应成为目标。作者回顾了预防创伤的各种方法，并得出结论：牙医可通过两种方式提供最切实的帮助：在适当情况下尽早减少明显的前牙深覆盖，尤其是通过提供适合运动时使用的合适的护齿器。本文接着对商业护齿器进行了批判性评估，并给出了制作定制护齿器的分步指南。
