Congratulations to Viggy Parr, author of the Mouth Guard Germ Study, who qualified to travel to Los Angeles to compete in the International Science Fair.
A recent study shows Protech Dent™ mouth guards prevent germ transfer
In addition, the following Protech Dent™ advantages were noted:
Non-compressible – minimal deform
Distributes forces over larger area
30% better protection
Ultra thin (1.6mm) – comfortable
Players can easily drink and talk
Custom fit in minutes
Superior hygiene – players keep guards in, resulting in no bacterial transfer from hands to guard
ABOUT THE STUDY
The control group was comprised of two sets of hockey players:
Group 1: Conventional guard
(5 hockey players)
Group 2: Protech Dent™
(5 hockey players)
Wash hands before study
New mouth guards
Cultures from hands and guards after 2h practice
Germs found on hands
Same disease causing germs on all 5 players' conventional guards
Wash hands before study
New Protech Dent™
Cultures from hands and guards after 2h practice
Germs found on hands
No germs on any of the 5 players' Protech Dent™ mouth guards
And the results were stunning:NO bacteria found on the Protech Dent™ mouthguards:
