Bruxism a literature review
Scoring bruxism in the absence of audiovisual recordings
Conclusions Although the absence of audio-video recording, the diagnostic accuracy of assessing RMMA with portable PSG systems appeared to remain good, supporting their use for both research and clinical purposes. However, the risk of moderate overestimation in absence of audio-video must be taken into account. https://docksci.com/diagnostic-accuracy-of-sleep-bruxism-scoring-in-absence-of-audio-video-recording_5adffcedd64ab21eb28a08f9.html
Link between bruxism-TMJ and SDB review
“It appears that when patients with SB and/or painful TMD complain about insomnia, snoring and/or cessation of breathing during sleep, sleepiness of unidentified causes, or uncontrolled blood pressure, it is prudent to screen for the presence of SDB. Such is done in collaboration with sleep medicine specialists using either sleep laboratory or home recording systems with electromyography analysis of masseter/temporal muscle activity” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273088020_The_Link_between_Sleep_Bruxism_Sleep_Disordered_Breathing_and_Temporomandibular_Disorders_An_Evidence-based_Review
