- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of custom-fitted mouthguard among patients who are involved in athletic activities and are undergoing dental treatment. many patients find it difficult to fabricate custom-fitted mouthguards because many changes occur in the mouth during the mixed dentition years. Such performed mouthguards are made to be softened in very hot water and molded in the patient's mouth to adapt to the teeth. The fabrication technique takes into consideration impending changes in the position of teeth and the presence of fixed orthodontic hardware.
