Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate and compare the level of comfort during the use of individualized mouthguards made by three different brands of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), measured using a visual analogue scale filled in by the participant to measure 9 (nine) domains: comfort, volume, stability, hardness, breathing, speech, dry mouth sensation, retching and biting habit.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measure and compare the degree of deformation of individualized mouthguards made by three different brands of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) as a function of the time of use, which will be measured in millimeters from the superposition of images obtained by scanning the protectors before being used. delivered to the participants and after 5 (five) weeks of use.;To evaluate and compare the degree of clinical adaptation of individualized mouthguards made of three different brands of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) as a function of the time of use, which will be analyzed through clinical evaluation of the parameters adaptation, retention and stability. Data will be collected in two moments: when each mouthguard is delivered to the participant and after 5 (five) weeks of use.;Evaluate and compare participants' willingness to pay (DAP) for individualized mouthguards made from three different brands of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), which will be measured in reais (R$) by the auction method.
