| dc.description.abstract | It is expected that most mouth guards will provide some
level of protection to teeth. In this study a device was developed
to measure the relative impact absorption of two
different mouth guards (Proform, Type III vacuum-formed
and Max, Type IV pressure laminate). Seven of each of the
two types of mouth guards were made and each batch
was exposed to between six and 10 impact trials. | en_US |
