Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: The type III protector is expected to cause less influence on the stomatognathic system than the type II protector, when assessed subjectively by athletes through a questionnaire where the answer to the questionnaire for each variable corresponded to a score calculated by the absolute average of the responses for each variable, where higher averages correspond to positive results when comparing the results of the protectors to each other. - Gingival damage - Gingival damage should have a higher average in type III protector than in type II protector, - Difficulty in speech - A higher average should be observed in the difficulty in using the type III protector than in the type II protector. - Change in breathing - Change in breathing should be observed in the type III protector compared to the type II protector - TMJ pain - A higher average of TMJ discomfort should be observed in the type III protector than in the type II protector. - Vomiting reflex - A higher average should be observed in the vomiting reflex in the type III protector than in the type II protector - Ease of cleaning - A higher average should be observed in the difficulty of cleaning in type II protector than in type III protector - Retention at the time of use - A higher average should be observed in retention in type III protector than in type II protector.;Observed outcome: - Gingival damage - Gingival damage obtained a higher average in type III protector than in type II protector, - Difficulty in speech - A higher average was found in speech difficulties in the type III protector than in the type II protector. - Change in breathing - Change in breathing had a higher average in type III protector than in type II protector - TMJ pain - There was no difference in means between type III protector and type II protector. - Vomiting reflex - A higher mean was observed in the vomiting reflex in type II protector than in type III protector - Ease of cleaning - No difference in means w | — |
