“…[13][14][15][16][17] Forming machines have either a single-sided or double sided heating mechanism. Factors that affect shape change during this stage include the heater shape, molding machine heat source 15,22 and the sheet thickness, [23][24][25][26] color, 16,27 and material. 15,[17][18][19] The temperature was constantly higher on the heated surface than on the non-heated surface.…”

“…Estudos demonstram que a espessura ideal para confecção dos protetores bucais em uma escala de 1 a 6 mm, é de 4 mm (Farrington et al, 2016). Visto que testes em elementos finitos foram feitos e os protetores com espessuras menores que 3 mm apresentam deslocamento após força aplicada, além de apresentarem menor absorção de impacto.…”

RESUMOProtetores bucais são equipamentos de segurança que visam a prevenção de traumas como concussão, laceração, luxação e perdas dentárias em esportes de contato. Os protetores bucais confeccionados pelos dentistas proporcionam melhor comodidade e segurança em treinos, jogos e lutas. Esta revisão de literatura bibliográfica, de forma narrativa, tem como objetivo orientar cirurgiões-dentistas sobre as técnicas corretas de confecção de protetores bucais, melhorando a autoestima e autoconfiança do atleta com a intervenção odontológica. Os resultados das pesquisas apontam que os cirurgiões dentistas devem confeccioná-los de modo que os atletas se sintam confortáveis ao usá-los, quanto a respiração, fala e deglutição. Para aqueles atletas que já sofreram trauma de origem dental e se reestabeleceram, o protetor atua sendo benéfico para evitar um novo acidente, além de aumentar a confiança do esportista ao exercer suas atividades. Ainda há muitas dúvidas sobre a técnica de confecção dos protetores bucais individualizados, porém o objeto em questão é fundamental para esportistas, pois reduzem em até 80% a chance de trauma dento alveolar e maxilo-facial.Palavras-chave: protetor bucal; prevenção; traumatismo dento-alveolar. ABSTRACTMouth guards are safety equipment that aim to prevent trauma such as concussion, laceration, dislocation and dental losses in contact sports. The mouth guards made by dentists provide better comfort and safety in training, games and fights. This narrative review of bibliographic literature aims to guide dental surgeons about the correct techniques of confection of mouthguards, improving the self-esteem and self-confidence of the athlete with the dental intervention. The results of research indicate that dental surgeons should make them so that athletes feel comfortable using them, such as breathing, speech and swallowing. For athletes who have already suffered trauma of dental origin and have reestablished, the protector acts 1 Endereço eletrônico de contato:

“…In order to balance the wall thickness distribution in the bottom and sidewalls of the ther-moformed part, plug assist thermoforming may be a quick solution. Parameters such as plug geometry, plug temperature and plug material are very critical during the forming by changing wall thickness and friction between the sheet and mold [1,9]. During the forming process, firstly the plug touches the heated sheet surface.…”

In this study, cylindrical, conical and hemispherical molds were used to form flat thermoplastic sheets which are 1.5 mm in thickness. The effect of plug assist on thickness distribution was investigated. The sheets were formed with and without plug assist. Then thickness distributions on thermoformed products were obtained for two experimental procedures by a digital caliper (Resolution: 0.01 mm). As a result, plug assist thermoforming provides more uniform thickness distributions than negative forming.
