" With all the concern about base of skull injuries in athletics today it is important to note that prevention should be our first concern. It is commonly accepted that
once an injury is experienced some permanent damage to the head has occured. Research into the mechanisms of these injuries in sports shows that blows to
the jaw are involved in a significant proportion of them. Dual-arch mouthguards such as the Brainpad have been shown to reduce forces to the TMJ and
base of skull. As a dental professional active in sports dentistry I urgently recommend that we include a discussion of prevention, especially where the jaw
is concerned in relation to the TMJ and the base of the skull and not just treatment guidelines, after the fact.".
