Whatisamlatorcufl‘?
Rotator cuff injuries are one of the
most common injuries we encounter
at Summit Rehabilitation. The rotator
cuff is a group of four shoulder muscles
and their tendons that work together
to give us stability throughout our
shoulders range of motion. These
four muscles are the Supraspinatus.

Dave Wheeler,
Why is my denture
cracking down the
middle?
Ill fitting dentures and
malocclusion (uneven contact)
are the most common cause.
As tissues underneath your
denture change, space may
develop causing a slight rock or cantilever that
weakens the denture. Also. many people chew
dominantly on one side of their mouth resulting
in uneven tooth wear. Once a denture becomes
unbalanced, you run the risk of cracking or
breaking It is advised to visit your denturist once
a year to ensure the proper fit and function of your
denture and to avoid poor oral tissue health.

Any of your family playing school sports?
Time to consider a custom, athletic mouth
guard!
Properly diagnosod. designed and custom fabricated moulhguards are
essential in the prevention of athletic oral andfacral injuries.
The National Youth Sports Foundation for the Prevention of Athletic
injuries. Inc. that dental injuries are the most common type
of omfaclal injury sustained during participation in sports It is wtlmated
by die American Dental Amiation that mouthguards
prevent approximately 200,000 injuries each year in high school and
collegiate football alone.
A properly fitted mouthguard must be protective, comfortable. resilient.
tear resistant. odorless, tasteles. not bulky. cause minimal
interference to speaking and breathing, and (possibly the most important
criteria) have mellent retention, fit, and sufficient '
thickness in critical areas.
A study shows in football (where mouthguards are commonly worn), 07% of the
injuries were orofacial. in basketball where
mouthguards are not routinely worn, 34% of the injuries were orofacial.
Various degrees of injury. from simple mansions and
lacerations to avulsions and fractured jaws werereported There is also some
theories that mouthguards may prevent or decrease the severity of
concussions.
Custom made mouthguards are supplied by your dentist. They fulfill all the
criteria for adaptation, retention, comfort, and stability of material.
'l'hey interfere the
least with speaking and studies have shown that the custom made mouthguard
has virtually no effect on breathing Over the counter products are unable
to deliver
the level of comfort, protection and performance of custom sportsguards.
Let. us know if you have anyquustions or if we can help protect you or your
children from sports related injuries
