Scientists to scan sleep apnea patients' airways to unravel teeth-grinding mystery

NCT ID NCT07511946

First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how the size of the upper airway (the space in your throat) might influence teeth grinding (bruxism) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will use a safe, low-radiation 3D scan (CBCT) and sleep tests to measure airway volume and grinding intensity. The goal is to better understand this link, which could help doctors manage bruxism more effectively. About 80 adults with moderate-to-high sleep apnea risk and bruxism symptoms will take part.
