NCT ID NCT03363204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new device called the BRUXENSE occlusal splint to see if it can help diagnose sleep bruxism (teeth grinding). Seven adults with bruxism tried wearing the splint for 10 nights. The goal was to see if they could use it comfortably and if it collected enough data for a diagnosis.
