Mouthguards.... Protech Dent to be specific!

So we all know how important mouth guards are right! Check out this pretty new lady.....

The Protech Dent Mouthguard

Better than conventional mouth guard options:

There are three main types of conventional mouth guards, all based on the soft material EVA:

1. Stock guards -- These are pre shaped, bulky and uncomfortable, They are hard to breath, drink and talk with. They have poor fitting and users complain about significant drooling.
   
2. "Boil and Bite" -- To some extent personal fitting is possible, but they are still bulky and uncomfortable; hard to breath, drink and talk with. Drooling is a problem with these as well.
3. Dentist made -- The advantage is the custom fitting. They are less bulky, but still not comfortable and hard to drink and talk with. The major disadvantage beside discomfort is that they are far too expensive.

The first two options are too bulky and the third too expensive. None of them are really comfortable.
Protech Dent^TM intend to change all of that.
Mouth guards are mandated in many sports. However, studies have shown that using a conventional mouth guard still carries a significant risk for dental injuries.

How Protech Dent^TM mouth guard was developed

For years the material was used in Swedish and American operating rooms by our founder, Jan Akervall MD, PhD, an Ear-Nose-Throat surgeon. The material turned out to be much easier to work with than softer conventional mouth guards. The perfect fitting prevented it from moving during anesthesia and the hard, thin surface turned out to be extremely resistant to stress and forces. 500 surgical procedures have been performed without a single dental injury. Comments were heard from fellow surgeons and anesthesiologists how smart and simple it was to handle. This led to the idea of taking it to the sports market. If it protects teeth this well in the operating room, it has to be good for athletes.
In order to better understand why it worked so well we brought the material to the laboratory and started to test its properties. We found that the material was much stronger than the material in conventional mouth guards. When we modified it with carefully placed perforations and a unique design the strength and comfort.
