Study Regarding the Monitoring of Nocturnal Bruxism in Children and Adolescents Using Bruxoff Device.
Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland)(2023)
摘要
Bruxism is a parafunctional activity represented by the gnashing and clenching of one's teeth. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of screening and monitoring with a Bruxoff device during nocturnal bruxism in 51 children and adolescents (36 with bruxism and 15 without bruxism) by assessing the variations in the intensity and duration of parafunctional activity in each patient. Bruxoff measurements were recorded for at least 60 min for three consecutive nights for each subject. All the parameters recorded using Bruxoff in the control and the study groups showed a statistically significant difference ( < 0.05). The differences found by comparing the values recorded in the male and female study groups are significant for heart rate, the number of masseter muscle contractions during one night, and mixed contractions. The Bruxoff device proved to be important in diagnosing patients with bruxism in our practice.
