“…In addition, the labial surface of the primary canines was filled based on a predicted increase in primary canine width in the mixed dentition period and the permanent canine size 12–15 . For filling space in the dentition of a working model, condensation silicone is widely used 16 . In the present case, self‐curing acrylic resin, which allows for easy contour formation, was utilized to adjust the working model form 17 .…”

Custom‐made mouthguards are widely used by athletes during training and sporting events for the prevention of oral injuries. However, even though the prevalence of dental injuries in children in the primary or mixed dentition stages is high, few reports have focused on mouthguard use for such cases due to the difficulties associated with adapting them as teeth are lost and replaced. This report presents a case of a Japanese boy in the mixed dentition stage with a custom‐made mouthguard. For fabrication, self‐curing acrylic resin was used to fill portions of a working model to keep space for the later eruption of permanent teeth. However, adjustment was necessary when gingival swelling occurred in association with maxillary canine eruption, after which refabrication was necessary. Regular management of a custom‐made mouthguard by the attending dentist is important for children in the mixed dentition period, especially during maxillary canine eruption, which causes drastic dentition changes. In the present case, custom‐made mouthguards were fully effective based on the prediction of changes in the dentition and with regular dental management.

“…Mouthguards can be classified into three types: custom-made, mouth-formed (boil and bite), and stock [15][16][17][18]. The FDI statement also mentioned that custom-made mouthguards provide the best level of protection and comfort, mouth-formed mouthguards are less adequate, and stock mouthguards provide the lowest level of protection and comfort [8].…”

Purpose: Wearing a sports mouthguard is not only recommended in collision sports, such as American football, boxing, and rugby football, but also in low-contact sports, such as basketball, handball, and soccer. It is recommended to remove oral prosthetic devices while playing sports to avoid the risk of fracturing the device. However, players with maxillectomy must wear obturator-type prosthetic devices for speech, breathing, and deglutition even while playing sports. Therefore, there is a need for an oral appliance to prevent dental injury while playing sports without the risk of fracturing the device for players who have undergone maxillectomy. In this case, we fabricated and proposed overlay-type and obturator-type customized sports mouthguards for a patient who had undergone maxillectomy and assessments of satisfaction, speech intelligibility, nasopharyngeal closure function, and swallowing function while playing soccer. Results: The patient was only satisfied with the obturator-type mouthguard, and the results of the speech intelligibility, nasopharyngeal closure function, and swallowing tests using the obturator-type mouthguard showed no differences compared to those associated with the previously used prosthetic device. Conclusions: This case may help highlight the importance of providing obturator-type mouthguards for players who have undergone maxillectomy to prevent dental injury and physical and mental discomfort.
