Objectives The purpose of the present study was to analyze treatment outcome with a full-occlusion biofeedback (BFB) splint on sleep bruxism (SB) and TMD pain compared with treatment with an adjusted occlusal splint (AOS). Materials and methods Forty-one patients were randomly allocated to a test (BFB) or a control (AOS) group and monitored over a 3-month period. Output variables were frequency and duration of bruxing events (bursts) and various pain symptoms. Results The BFB group showed a statistically significant reduction in the frequency and duration of bursts and a statistically significant improvement in the patients’ global well-being and the facial muscle pain parameter. After the treatment was stopped, the BFB group showed a statistically significant reduction in the average and maximum duration but no statistically significant change in the frequency of bursts. Conclusions The tested BFB splint is highly effective in reducing SB at the subconscious level, i.e., without waking the patient, and in achieving improvements in global pain perception. The results suggest that the BFB splint also provides a better treatment option for bruxism-related pain than an AOS. However, further research is needed, and specifically studies with a larger patient population displaying higher levels of pain at baseline. Clinical relevance By reducing burst duration and therefore the pathological load on the masticatory apparatus, the BFB splint reduces TMD and bruxism-related symptoms and improves patients’ physical well-being. In the long term, this could prevent damage to the TMJ. This study confirms the effectiveness and safety of this splint. The universal trial number U1111-1239-2450 DRKS-ID registration DRKS00018092

“…Final device size is similar to that of recent devices for intra oral monitoring [ 23 , 24 ] and the in vivo trials, explained further on, help to validate our approach in a preliminary way, before carrying out a more exhaustive clinical study for analyzing additional factors of influence such as, sex, age, professional activity, combined pathologies, among others, also with the patients during their sleep. To our knowledge it is the first intraoral wireless and battery-less intraoral devices with these diagnostic capabilities, what helps also to enhance usability and final device safety.…”

“…The reduced-size sensing device allows obtaining an intra-mouth device, which does not cause important alterations of the patient's bite and promotes the quality of final measurements. The use of a wireless external interrogator/reader also allows the collection of the desired information in a more convenient way, when compared to previous proposals from our team [ 21 , 22 ] and to the devices used in other studies [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Intraoral devices for bite-force sensing have several applications in odontology and maxillofacial surgery, as bite-force measurements provide additional information to help understand the characteristics of bruxism disorders and can also be of help for the evaluation of post-surgical evolution and for comparison of alternative treatments. A new system for measuring human bite forces is proposed in this work. This system has future applications for the monitoring of bruxism events and as a complement for its conventional diagnosis. Bruxism is a pathology consisting of grinding or tight clenching of the upper and lower teeth, which leads to several problems such as lesions to the teeth, headaches, orofacial pain and important disorders of the temporomandibular joint. The prototype uses a magnetic field communication scheme similar to low-frequency radio frequency identification (RFID) technology (NFC). The reader generates a low-frequency magnetic field that is used as the information carrier and powers the sensor. The system is notable because it uses an intra-mouth passive sensor and an external interrogator, which remotely records and processes information regarding a patient's dental activity. This permits a quantitative assessment of bite-force, without requiring intra-mouth batteries, and can provide supplementary information to polysomnographic recordings, current most adequate early diagnostic method, so as to initiate corrective actions before irreversible dental wear appears. In addition to describing the system's operational principles and the manufacture of personalized prototypes, this report will also demonstrate the feasibility of the system and results from the first in vitro and in vivo trials.

Les progrès électroniques des cent dernières années ont apporté d’énormes contributions à la recherche médicale et au développement de nouveaux procédés thérapeutiques. Au cours des dernières années notamment, il a été démontré que les capteurs intelligents, avec des interfaces radio appropriées, permettront bientôt de relier entre eux les processus diagnostiques et thérapeutiques en médecine - il sera ainsi possible de développer de toutes nouvelles formes de traitements [1]. Cette nouvelle « médecine 4.0 » a fait l’objet d’un premier article de la série, dans lequel étaient présentés les progrès acquis grâce à la fusion de la technologie des micro-capteurs, de la microélectronique et des technologies de l’information et de la communication, en détaillant particulièrement le cas de la chimiothérapie personnalisée. L’objet de ce nouvel article est de présenter davantage d’applications pratiques de ces nouvelles méthodes thérapeutiques.
