Comparison between two different registration protocols for the count of sleep bruxism events in a sample of healthy individuals.

Objectives: The aim of the present research is to compare, in a group of healthy young individuals, the number of sleep bruxism (SB) events with the use of two different electromyographic (EMG) devices, which adopt two different protocols for scoring the events.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed on 10 individuals recruited at the University of Siena, Italy. Participants were asked to perform one night of sleep-time recording wearing simultaneously, in their home environment, two different EMG devices, the Bruxoff (Bruxoff, Turin, Italy) and the dia-BRUXO (dia-BRUXO, Biotech-Novations, Sanremo, Italy).
