ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to a disposable mouth guard constructed having a relatively hard, rigid core formed with an opening to permit passage therethrough of a diagnostic instrument, such as an endoscope. The core is sufficiently rigid to resist compression and prevent damage to the internal workings of the endoscope when the patient bites down on the center portion of the mouth guard. The outer surface of the core is provided with a relatively flexible soft coat to cushion the patient's bite.
