Abstract
Purpose: This study, it was observed on the effect of material and thickness of the mouth guard on postural balance in order to assess the influence of the use of a mouth guard. Methods: The mouth guards of 10 adults selected as the experiment subject was sorted into each of hard and soft material, and these were made as thickness of 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm by each of the material. Results: The results of this study are expected to wear the mouthguard hard to influence positive influence on the improvement of the muscle strength, static balance. Conclusion: Suggest the need for additional research on dynamic balance.
