WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN SPORTS MOUTHGUARDS?

The characteristics of the microorganisms isolated from the mouthguards enable them to disseminate systemically and/or be aspirated into the respiratory tract


Biting Actions

The biting actions athletes perform during mouthguard wear end in a systemic showering of microorganisms throughout the mouth, oesophagus, and trachea

Athlete's Immune System

Without proper cleaning, the immune system could be compromised and athletes could be more susceptible to diseases

Correct Decontamination

Water will not decontaminate MG, but other agents (toothpaste, sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide) may abrade the MG, increasing the possibility of microbial attachment

Microbial Contamination and Disinfection of Sport Mouthguard: In Vitro Study.

Sport mouthguards are dental devices used by athletes who need oral protection during sports activities. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), a polymeric polymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, has become widely accepted as a mouthguard material. There are several issues related to the use of an oral protective device, especially for professional athletes who are subjected to several hours of workout everyday [[ 1]–[ 5]]. Glass et al. [[ 6]] reported an increase of oral lesions in athletes who had used stock mouthguards for an entire agonistic season. Furthermore, mouthguard conditions after wear may facilitate disease transmission (e.g. endocarditis). In fact, the continuous solutions caused by worn mouthguards would facilitate the entry into the bloodstream of all the microorganisms present on mouthguard surfaces. This condition occurs when jagged and sharp areas of the posterior regions of the mouthguards are in close proximity to the pterygoid venous plexus. revention of oral damage, caused by pathogen's flora to hard and soft tissues, can be done by following the basic oral hygiene rules before sport activity and cleaning the device after each use [[10]]. Preservation and cleaning of the mouthguard are often overlooked by athletes who easily tend to abandon this task. Namba et al. [[11]] conducted an interview to 22 rugby players, with an appropriate level of school education, to understand their habits and attitudes towards the hygiene and the use of mouthguards. Only two of them reported to have been correctly guided by a sport dentist on methods to sanitize their mouthguard. When asked if they performed some type of mouthguard cleaning, only one answered that always cleaned it with water.


WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN INSTRUMENT MOUTHPIECES?

When various parts of woodwind and brass instruments are used, they become repositories for the users’ oral and pulmonary secretions 


Microbial Transmission

Because these instruments come into intimate contact with the musicians’ oral and respiratory mucous membranes, such exposures may facilitate microbial transmission

Repeated Use

As these instruments are repeatedly played, they build up visible amounts of organic material, providing an excellent habitat for microbial growth

Studies

There has been a great deal of research recently into the transmission of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses by oral means such as instruments

Results

The results of the current study confirmed that wind instruments are heavily contaminated with a wide variety of bacterial and fungal isolates
