Abstrakt: In brief: Improved materials and fabrication techniques have enhanced the quality of athletic mouth guards, which are available in three types: custom-made, mouth-formed, and stock (ready-made). In addition, increased participation by dental schools and societies has resulted in greater availability of mouth protectors. However, problems still exist. This case report involves an athlete who sustained a lesion (most commonly known as an inflammatory fibroma) from wearing an ill-fitting mouth-formed protector.
