Summary
This study aims to compare the effects of traditional and 3D-printed custom-made mouthguards on speech and oral functions in pediatric cases who practice contact sports by evaluating the comfort, fit, and performance of both types of mouthguard fabrication methods. The study will be conducted on 60 children who practice contact sports, and the changes in speech, oral functions, the occlusal thickness of the mouthguards, and the cost efficiency will be assessed over a period of one year.
