Abstract

Abstract: With the deepening of the research on sports mouthguard, there are currently three different types of sports mouthguard classification. In order to improve the protective effect of sports mouthguard, researchers have continuously improved the manufacturing materials and design, and strengthened the use and maintenance of sports mouthguard. In recent years, the role of doctors in the protection of sports mouthguard has also been paid attention to. This study introduces the research status of sports mouthguard at home and abroad, and summarizes the types, protection mechanisms and effects, manufacturing technologyies maintenance methods and stomatologists participation of sports mouthguards, in order to provide references for stomatologists in the design, production, maintenance and corresponding research of sports mouthguards.

Key words: sports mouthguard, classification, technology, maintenance, participation
