Abstract

The National Alliance Football Rules Committee has made mandatory the wearing of mouth protectors by all foot­ ball players in high schools, junior col­ leges and colleges. The Cobb County, Georgia, Dental Society decided to pro­ vide custom-fitted mouth protectors for all high school football players in Cobb County. The members of the society vol­ unteered their time to take upper arch impressions of the more than 500 boys who take part in the organized football programs. A fee of $1 for each impres­ sion was charged to cover the cost of the materials used. Senior dental students from Emory University School of Den­ tistry volunteered to pour the impressions in stone. The dentists trimmed and out­ lined the models. The processing of the mouth protectors was made the responsi­ bility of the school personnel who were instructed in the procedures by members of the dental society. Through this pro­ gram, all the high school football players were able to obtain custom-made mouth protectors for the 1962 football season.
