Abstract:
The bimaxillary mouthguard provides enhanced protection for a participant in contact sports. This article describes the fabrication of a polyvinylacetate-polyethylene (PVAc-PE) bimaxillary mouthguard in which the connection of the maxillary and mandibular components is reinforced by pressure thermoforming a 2-mm PVAc-PE sheet over the labial and buccal portions of the mouthguard.
