Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
This study aims to compare changes in the thickness of traditional and 3D-printed custom mouth guards in pediatric athletes who participate in contact sports. Specifically, it will assess the occlusal thickness changes between both types of mouth guards. The research will involve 56 children engaged in contact sports, and the evaluation will cover occlusal thickness, speech, oral functions, and cost-effectiveness over the course of one yea
