Heat-cured silicone bimaxillary mouthguard.
A laboratory procedure for the construction of a heat-cured, silicone, custom-made bimaxillary mouthguard for contact sports is described. Contours and vertical dimension are easier to control than with the conventional thermoformed product, and there is no danger of injury from contact between the maxillary and mandibular components.
