Summary

This study assesses the effect of adjusting the occlusal surface of a custom-made mouthguard on the degree of satisfaction with a mouthguard among water polo players. Twenty-four water polo players will wear a custom-made conventional mouthguard and a custom-made mouthguard with occlusal adjustment, two weeks per mouthguard. They will wear it during training sessions and for competing. The sequence will be randomized to obtain one-half of the participants starting the first week wearing the conventional mouthguard, and the other half wearing the mouthguard with occlusal adjustment. The participants will rate the degree of interference with oral functions or discomfort in reference to speech, breathing, swallowing, gag reflex, fits too tight, fits too loose, aesthetics and athletic performance, in a 10-point scale, considering 0 no discomfort/interference and 10 maximum discomfort/interference. After each session, players also rated the perception of protection, the degree of improvement on athletic performance and the degree of satisfaction in a 10-point scale, considering 0 no protection/satisfaction and 10 maximum protection/satisfaction.
