all youngsters playing body contact sports such as hockey Dr Abram Cohen 60 gave the view in an interview while here to attend this weeks an nual meeting of the 1500irmem her international dental frater nity of Alpha Omega He said the protective device cuts down substantially tooth mouth and even head injuries Dr Cohen practitioner for 39 years is director of dental services for Philadelphia board of education and member of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Five years ago he launched pilot program in Philadelphia dealing with mouth protection for young athletes it has since gained American Dental Assoclv ation endorsement Now it is mandatory for all high school football players in Philadelphia to wear mouth guards They are supplied free by the board of education NEEDED IN CANADA Dr Cohen said in Canada where so many youngsters play hockey there is big need for similar program While walking here the other day came to an outdoor rink where kids were playing and the attendant told me at least once day some kid loses tooth or suffers some other injury He said its up to parents to make sure their children are adequately protected but to get the project off the ground across the country would require pro motion by national organiza tion such as the Canadian liicn tal Association im hopeful they will get something going Dr Cohen said good mouth protector also guards against head injuries Concussions sometimes occur when the mandible the lower jaw is forced back against the skull sharply Wearing guard the athlete instinctively clamps down on it with his tooth when there is blow and the injury is nvolded because the impact is lessened in the first year of the Phil adelphia ment guards were given to of 597 high school football players None of the 84 suffered tooth or head in juries Among the remaining 513 there were 21 tooth injuries and 2A head injuries Dr Cohen said that in the four years since thenwith all play ers wearing guardsthere have been only two tooth injuries and three head injuries PLASTIC USED He said his tests have shown that the best guard is semi hard plastic shell with soft plastic insert moulded to the characteristics of the athletes mouth and fitted over the upper teeth No part is visible on the out side and it can he wom com fortably for extended periods Cost in the United States is about $3 Tests alsowere conducted
