Conditions

Bruxism, Sleep-Related

Brief summary

There is no accurate diagnosis method for bruxism for now. Consequences of bruxism over teeth, muscles and articulation of the jaw are important. This study aims to develop a innovative tool in order to accurately rapidly diagnose bruxism in ambulatory evaluation.

Interventions

DEVICEBRUXENSE occlusal splint

Patients participating will put the BRUXENSE occlusal splint each night. During the night the device will collect data potentially related to bruxism. After each night the device will be cleaned with water and toothpaste and charged. This routine will be conducted over 10 consecutive nights.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient rate with successful use of BRUXENSE occlusal splintAt day 10The BRUXENSE occlusal splints correct use in real situation will be evaluated by measuring the percentage of subjects able to use this occlusal splints during 10 consecutive nights (6 hours minimum) without any pain or any discomfort. 10 nights is the necessary delay to record sufficient data to make a diagnosis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of usable measurementsAt day 10The quality of collected data will be determined by the number of measurements that can be used to make a diagnosis of bruxism after 10 consecutive nights
Satisfaction scale scoreAt day 10Subject satisfaction will be assessed thanks to a numeric scale going from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (completely satisfied)
Proportion of patients diagnosed with bruxismAt day 10Proportion of patients diagnosed with bruxism according to the BRUXENSE occlusal splints after the analysis of the data collected during 10 days.
