Telemetric recording of three-dimensional mandibular movements during the nocturnal phase and assessing the patterns of mandibular movement of sleep bruxism in adults.

Aim: To develop a novel approach to telemetrically record 3-dimensional mandibular movements during the nocturnal phase using an arrangement of inertial measurement units integrated within a digitally designed and printed occlusal splint and to evaluate the suitability of this approach for routine use as a diagnostic tool to assess mandibular movement patterns during sleep bruxism
