The Academy of General Dentistry  (6/1) shared that dental sports medicine is exploring the benefits of mouthguards beyond dental protection, focusing on their role in enhancing athletic strength and neuromuscular activation. A new scoping review published in General Dentistry synthesizes peer-reviewed literature on how mouthguards and jaw clenching can improve strength-related performance. These findings are detailed in the May/June issue of the publication.
