| description | A non-randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare the articulatory distortions of plosive sounds when using
different types of mouthguards. Female national rugby players aged 18 and above were recruited, all of whom were
native speakers of Malay without speech or hearing impairment. Boil-and-bite and custom-fitted mouthguards were
provided for each participant. The articulation of phonemes with plosive sounds (/p/, /b/, /d/ and /t/) was recorded
in a quiet room for the following conditions in a predetermined sequence: not using a mouthguard, using a boil-andbite mouthguard, and using a custom-fitted mouthguard. A washout interval of one hour was implemented among the
conditions. The recorded speech waveforms were digitised and transcribed into the Praat software version 6.0.39 for
spectrographic analysis. The mean voice onset time (VOT) for all phonemes was measured in milliseconds. Friedman
test was used as the omnibus test with a level of significance set at α = 0.05, while Bonferroni-corrected Wilcoxon
signed-rank test was used for pairwise comparisons. A total of 25 participants completed the follow-up. A statistically
significant difference was found in the articulation of all plosive sounds among control, boil-and-bite mouthguard
and custom-fitted mouthguard (P < .001). All pairwise comparisons were statistically significant (P < .001). Although
the articulation of plosive sounds was distorted when boil-and-bite and custom-fitted mouthguards were used,
distortions were more notable in the boil-and-bite mouthguard. |
