abstract="This report shows that although 95.4% of players in the U.S. Rugby Team believed mouthguards provided local protection, only half wore a mouthguard. However, 90.9% of mouthguard wearers would not play without their mouthguard and 54.5% believed wearing mouthguards should be made compulsory in rugby football. Approximately one-third of the team had sustained an orofacial injury that required treatment and none were wearing a mouthguard at the time of injury. These and other results are compared to an identical study of the 1984 Australian Rugby Team, the only previous such study reported.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
