🗑
types/classification of athletic mouthguards   stock, mouth formed, custom  
🗑
stock   not recommended- poor fit, bulky, interfere w/ talking & breathing, difficult to retain  
🗑
mouth formed   shell-liner or thermoplastic  
🗑
mouth formed shell liner type   hard outer shell-polyviyl chloride: soft liner platicized acrylic gel or silicone rubber-set by chemical or thermal  
🗑
mouth formed shell liner type disadvantages   exposure distorts shape and physical properties of these materials-NOT rec for athletes w/ ortho  
🗑
mouth formed thermoplastic type   immerse in boiling water-then blanch in cold water-adapt w/ mouth-can be used w/ fixed ortho if fitted by a dentist  
🗑
custom made protectors   thermoplastic material-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene PVA PE  
🗑
thermoplastic copolymer-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene PVA   physical reaction of hardening on cooling=thermoplastic  
🗑
properties PVA PE   thermal insulators, absorbs water, tensile strength, modulus and hardness decrease after water absorbs, but elongation, tear strength, and resilence increased  
🗑
fluoride custom trays-   thinner than mouthguards-ideal for high prev of caries or risk: allows all surfaces to be covered w/ fluoride at once, farbicate in dental office in same method as mouthguards,  
🗑
APF   0.5%  
🗑
NaF   1.1%  
🗑
Sn2F   0.4%  
🗑
ortho appliances   minor mvmt, correct overbites,overjets;spacing probls, slight malocclusions, one type is Hawley-combo of acrylic and metal wires  
🗑
nightguards   bruxism, clenching, usually worn at night, alleviates wear on the dentition  
🗑
space maintainers   temp replacement for primary teeth lost prematurely-prevents drifting and closure of space  
🗑
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)   caused by reduced upper airway size and way the muscle acts, appliances advance mandible opening the airway  
🗑
bleaching trays   similar to fluoride trays  
🗑
materials used in oral appliance fabrication-most are thermoplastics   polycarbonates, polyethylene-(DH uses most)-polypropolene-polystyerences-polyvinyl chloride  
🗑
maintenance of oral appliances   rinse b4 and after use w/ cold water, brush daily, store in rigid container, protect from heat and pressure during storage, eval routinely for deterioration-min life is usually 2 yrs-bite through, tearing, general dererioration from chewing it  
🗑
using a vacuum mold heated to resin to the model (sta vac) is an emample of which thermoplastic or thermoset   thermoplastic  
🗑
which type of mouth protector is fabricated by teh dental personnel   custom  
🗑
which arch of the study model is used   maxilla  
🗑
what type of resin was teh mouthguard material used in lab   PVA PE  
🗑
why should the model vacuum plate and frames by sprayed w/ Sta-Lube:   so the material won't get stuck to the cast or the sta vac  
🗑
where is the line drawn on the mouth guard to use as a guide for cutting-facial   2-3 mm from the mucobuccal fold, starting at most posterior molars  
🗑
where is the line drawn on the mouth guard to use as a guide for cutting-lingual   dividing alveoar arch and palate follow contours  
🗑
storage and care   in a rigid container, rinse w/ cold water b4 and after use, brush w/ cold water once a day  
🗑
