CASE STUDY ON SPORTS
MOUTHGUARD WORKLOW

Sports mouthguard workflow using 3Shape Splint Studio

The advantages of a digital workflow according to Dr. Tasopoulos

A digital process enables rapid, cost-efficient, and scalable production, which is particularly advantageous for elite and professional athletes who require multiple mouthguards with identical specifications.

CAD/CAM workflows reduce chairside adjustments, shorten fabrication time, and improve predictability.

A digital record facilitates communication between the dental team and the athlete.

Reducing dependence on laboratory steps can mitigate errors in the workflow.
