Comfort and Usability of Digital Versus Conventional Custom‐Fit Mouthguards: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Key Points

Digital impression improves comfort and efficiency in mouthguard fabrication, requiring less execution time.
Efficacy was demonstrated through the use of more accurate printed models for custom-fit mouthguards.
Patients reported comfort and fit levels similar between digital and conventional mouthguards, suggesting high usability.
Digital workflow in mouthguard production may streamline processes, indicating a shift in dental practices.

Abstract

The digital workflow demonstrated to be efficient in the fabrication of mouthguards. Digital impression was more comfortable, requiring less execution time, with more accurate printed models and produced mouthguards with reported comfort and fit levels similar to those manufactured conventionally.
