ABSTRACT:
The Comfort Guard is made of a soft material that covers the stiff, slender and sharp edges of an intraoral x-ray film, during dental x-ray exposures. After the intraoral x-ray film is inserted or affixed into the Comfort Guard, the guard is positioned in the patient's mouth in between the teeth and tongue. Therefore, the film's edges will not be in direct contact with the patient's mouth or oral tissue. The patient can compress the handle with their anterior teeth, allowing the patient to become involved in securing the film in their mouth.
