Abstract
This study introduces an innovative 3D-printed mouthguard incorporating an integrated microfluidic drug dispenser. Fabricated from biocompatible resin utilizing Digital Light Processing (DLP) technol-ogy, the device allows for facile redesign and customization to accommodate individual dental anat-omy. The integrated microfluidic system is equipped with two check valves, enabling simple and re-peatable refilling, and dispensing of liquids from the internal reservoirs.
