WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed that college football players who wore dentist-fitted mouthguards had a lower incidence of severe concussions and faster return to sport compared with those who wore self-fitted mouthguards.
“We found a significant decrease in the severity of concussion with dentist-fitted mouthguards. This could be due to a better fit and fabrication resulting in fewer concussions and a quicker return to play. Hopefully, these findings may lead to conversation and further research as one variable to reconsider,” Michael C. Meyers, PhD, FACSM,
