98 Mouthguards January 1986 • Revised August 2007 GUIDELINE 3c The NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports acknowledges the significant input of Dr. Jack Winters, past president of the Academy of Sports Dentistry, in the revision of this guideline. The NCAA has mandatory equipment rules, including the use of mouthguards for selective sports. Various studies of “properly fitted mouthguards” indicate that they may reduce dental injuries when blows to the jaws or head are received. The American Dental Association has urged the mandatory use of mouthguards for those engaged in athletics activities that involve body contact and endorsed their use “in sporting activities in which a significant risk of oral injury may occur.” It is important when considering the optimum protection for an athlete that a thorough medical history be taken and the demands of his or her position and sporting activity be considered. Specific objectives for the use of “properly fitted mouthguards” as protective devices in sports are as follows: 1. “Properly fitted mouthguards” could reduce the potential chipping of tooth enamel surfaces and reduce fractures of teeth, roots or bones. 2. “Properly fitted mouthguards” could protect the lip and cheek tissues from being impacted and lacerated against tooth edges. 3. “Properly fitted mouthguards” could reduce the incidence of a fractured jaw caused by a blow delivered to the chin or head. 4. “Properly fitted mouthguards” could provide protection to toothless spaces, so support is given to the missing dentition of the student-athlete. Stock, mouth-formed and customfitted are three types of mouthguards recognized by the American Dental Association. All need to be properly fitted for maximum protection. Studentathletes should be advised as to which “properly fitted mouthguard” is best for them and how it is best maintained to ensure the maximum fit and protection for daily practices and game-day wear. Medical staff personnel should regularly oversee and observe the student-athletes and the “properly fitted mouthguards.” In order to realize fully the benefits of wearing a mouthguard, the coach, student-athlete and medical staff need to be educated about the protective functions of a mouthguard and the game rules regarding mouthguard use must be enforced.
