    Area of Science:

    • Marine biology and medicine
    • Occupational health and safety in diving

    Background:

    • Diver's mouth syndrome presents with various clinical symptoms.
    • High prevalence of these symptoms has been noted during Joint Service (JS) diving expeditions.
    • Existing diving equipment may contribute to oral discomfort and injury.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and construct customized diving mouthpieces.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of these custom mouthpieces in preventing or mitigating diver's mouth syndrome symptoms.
    • To assess the performance of custom mouthpieces during intensive field use in diverse environmental conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of bespoke diving mouthpieces tailored to individual user needs.
    • Implementation of custom mouthpieces during multiple Joint Service (JS) diving expeditions.
    • Clinical observation and reporting of oral symptoms experienced by divers using the custom mouthpieces.

    Main Results:

    • The study focused on the development and field testing of customized diving mouthpieces.
    • Effectiveness was investigated during intensive use in various field conditions.
    • Data on symptom prevalence and mouthpiece efficacy were collected.

    Conclusions:

    • Customized diving mouthpieces show potential for reducing symptoms associated with diver's mouth syndrome.
    • Further research is warranted to validate the findings and establish standardized protocols for mouthpiece use.
    • Optimized oral interface devices may enhance diver safety and operational efficiency.
