This clinical practice gap may be rooted in professional deficiencies.Research indicates that many dental practitioners frequently exhibit insufficient knowledge regarding mouthguard types, their specific applications, and fabrication protocols. 15,16For instance, awareness of orthodontic-specific mouthguards, crucial for a high-risk patient group, is notably low, leading to inadequate recommendations for patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. 17 primary cause of this knowledge deficit seems to be a systemic shortage of formal training.
