Abstract

A new system for the in-vivo measurement of Bruxism inside a tooth splint was developed. The SensoBite System consists of a miniaturized electronics which is build inside a tooth splint, a receiver for data tracking and an analysis software package. Reliability of the system was proven with an ex-vivo test in a bite-simulator. Validity of the system was proven in an in-vivo trial: 20 subjects were equipped with the SensoBite System and, EMG-electrodes on the masseter muscles simultaneously. The subjects were prompted to perform several activities like teeth grinding, pressing and clapping. The SensoBite System showed a good correlation with the gold-standard EMG-signals on most of the prompted activities. First observations of the use of SensoBite in daily life show that the new system delivers a fast diagnosis for bruxism. Causes of bruxism can be identified easier.
