Article Abstract
Protection of athletes during sporting activities was of some concern even in the late 1800s. That concern continues, over 140 years later. In baseball, safety for the catcher was of primary concern because of inherent risks of being "behind the plate" while balls are pitched, bats are swung, and runners attempting to score come barreling in. Doug Allison was the skilled catcher for the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings who was known to use certain objects for self-protection, including George Wright's rubber "Mouthpiece." This report reviews earliest development of mouth protection in baseball, as known through reports of the times, and Doug Allison's career.

Aim: The aim of the present in vitro study was to synthesize and characterize green silver nanoparticles using Larrea tridentata leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and combining the nanoparticles with a commercial fluoride varnish (Fluor Protector) to evaluate the antibacterial activity in the production of acid and the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Methods: Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by green synthesis using Larrea tridentata leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations were determined using microdiluted plates.
