Comparison of the shock absorption capacities of different mouthguards
Summary. This study is not about rural innovation. It examines the protective qualities of different mouthguard designs through laboratory testing, measuring how various materials and thicknesses reduce tooth deflection and impact acceleration during collisions. The researchers found that thicker mouthguards with reinforced inserts and air spaces provided the best protection, with soft materials offering slightly better performance at lower impacts but degrading more at higher energies.
