Dental injuries are the commonest type of orofacial injury sustained during participation in sports. Of the types which are currently available, custom-made mouthguards fitted by a dentist have been demonstrated to provide the greatest protection from dental injuries. Such mouthguards should therefore be recommended for use by those who participate in contact sports, and their provision should be actively encouraged by dental care workers.
牙齿损伤是参与体育运动时最常见的口腔颌面损伤类型。在目前可用的类型中，由牙医定制的护齿器已被证明能提供最大程度的牙齿损伤防护。因此，应建议参加接触性运动的人使用此类护齿器，并且牙科护理人员应积极鼓励提供这种护齿器。
