Custom made maxillary mouthguards made from thermoplastic materials using dental impressions give valuable protection to the teeth and jaws of participants in contact sports. A bimaxillary mouthguard has been described which offers enhanced protection, but with considerable increase in cost. This paper describes a modification to current maxillary mouthguard design that is comfortable to wear, inexpensive to make and which may provide protection comparable to that of a bimaxillary type, while retaining other desirable features of the more complex appliance.
使用牙模由热塑性材料制成的定制上颌护齿器能为接触性运动参与者的牙齿和颌骨提供重要保护。一种双颌护齿器已被描述，它能提供增强的保护，但成本大幅增加。本文描述了对当前上颌护齿器设计的一种改进，这种改进后的护齿器佩戴舒适、制作成本低，并且在保留更复杂器械其他理想特性的同时，可能提供与双颌型护齿器相当的保护。
