“…These characteristics correspond entirely to what is desired for the type of device and application considered, where every athlete has a unique anatomic mouth arcade. The acquisition of data to form 3D images and designing and manufacturing devices for dentistry applications are considered as cutting-edge developments in the field [119].…”

Present Status in Polymeric Mouthguards. A Future Area for Additive Manufacturing?

Athletes from contact sports are more prone to orofacial injuries because of the exposure to possible shocks and collisions derived from physical proximity. The use of protector polymeric mouthguards proved to be useful in the prevention of the described injuries. There are different types of mouthguards with varying ranges of protection and prices, but they are all made from polymers and share the same propose: to absorb and dissipate the impact energy resulting from the shocks. As they are used inside the mouth, they should not impair breathing and speaking nor compromise the comfort of the athlete. However, the ideal mouthguard is yet to be created. The choice of the most appropriate polymeric material and the standard required properties have not yet been reported. Regardless of the numerous studies in this field, normalized control parameters for both material characterization and mouthguard fabrication are absent. This paper aims to present a review of the current types of available mouthguards and their properties/characteristics. Moreover, a detailed description of the most common polymers for the fabrication of mouthguards, together with the manufacturing techniques, are discussed.

“…In recent years, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been applied to complete denture treatments. This has helped advance the digitization of denture production, because CAD/CAM technology enables production at a higher speed and accuracy, as well as at a lower cost compared to the manual production of dentures [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In the United States, complete dentures fabricated using CAD/CAM and subtractive manufacturing (SM) have been systematized on a commercial basis [ 13 ].…”

Comparison of Mechanical Properties of PMMA Disks for Digitally Designed Dentures

In this study, the physical properties of a custom block manufactured using a self-polymerizing resin (Custom-block), the commercially available CAD/CAM PMMA disk (PMMA-disk), and a heat-polymerizing resin (Conventional PMMA) were evaluated via three different tests. The Custom-block was polymerized by pouring the self-polymerizing resin into a special tray, and Conventional PMMA was polymerized with a heat-curing method, according to the manufacturer’s recommended procedure. The specimens of each group were subjected to three-point bending, water sorption and solubility, and staining tests. The results showed that the materials met the requirements of the ISO standards in all tests, except for the staining tests. The highest flexural strength was exhibited by the PMMA-disk, followed by the Custom-block and the Conventional PMMA, and a significant difference was observed in the flexural strengths of all the materials (p < 0.001). The Custom-block showed a significantly higher flexural modulus and water solubility. The water sorption and discoloration of the Custom-block were significantly higher than those of the PMMA-disk, but not significantly different from those of the Conventional PMMA. In conclusion, the mechanical properties of the three materials differed depending on the manufacturing method, which considerably affected their flexural strength, flexural modulus, water sorption and solubility, and discoloration.
