Abstract
The aim of this study is to individualize from the structural point of view the silicon materials which lay at the basis of the manufacturing the oral mouth guards in full accordance to the features of the subject who is going to benefit from these devices, a highly important role belonging to the maxillary architecture and the occlusion type. Choosing the election biomaterial for the oral protection gear was done based on mathematical modelling using the Abaqus Standard system, with the aim of evaluating the tensions transmitted at the jaw level by different types of biomaterials which are embedded in the structure of these devices. The biomaterial represents an alternative favorable for the oral protection gear given the degree of elasticity and the possibility of including an antiseptic material, such as Eugenol, important features which individualize it.
