The Akervall Technologies mouthguards (ProTech Dent,) are indicated for use in protecting the teeth and reduce damage caused by bruxism or nighttime grinding.

The ProTech Dent guard consists of a polycaprolactone based polymer with a tensile strength significantly higher than EVA( 29.11 MPa versus 22.3 MPa). It comes in a pre-shaped form (1.6 mm thick). The form softens when heated in hot water and can then easily be custom fit to the user's teeth. When the user sucks on the mouth guard it shapes around the teeth with no or minimal space between the material and the teeth. The polymer hardens in about 30 seconds and is then durable so that it does not deform when impacted with forces typically encountered in the mouth.
