    Abstract:
    Mouth guards are effective to prevent traumatic injury in maxillofacial region during sports activities. This study was designed to find out the influence of wearing mouth guards on occlusal force distribution using an occlusal force transducer system (T-Scan system). Occlusal forces were more evenly distributed when mouth guards were in place comparing with natural dentition and with wearing conventional full arch bite planes.
