What about using a Mandibular movement signal based system for the diagnosis of bruxism?

What about using a Mandibular movement signal based system for the diagnosis of bruxism?

 

We published in 2021 a scientific paper to show the relevance of using mandibular movements signal measured by the Sunrise system, to diagnose bruxism (teeth grinding).

Context

Sleep bruxism (SBx) activity is classically identified by capturing masseter and/or temporalis masticatory muscles electromyographic activity (EMG-MMA) during in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG). We aimed to identify stereotypical mandibular jaw movements (MJM) in patients with SBx and to develop rhythmic masticatory muscles activities (RMMA) automatic detection using an artificial intelligence (AI) based approach.

Study Design

This was a prospective, observational study of 67 suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients in whom PSG with masseter EMG was performed with simultaneous MJM recording

Results

SBx can be reliably identified, quantified, and characterized with MJM when subjected to automated analysis supported by AI technology

A few words about the journal

Nature and science of sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
