Abstract
Bruxism is defined as a movement disorder of the masticatory system associated with grinding and clenching, both during sleep and consciousness. Patients with bruxism experience excessive tooth wear, make grinding noises and/or have complaints about the masticatory muscles. These complaints manifest themselves as pain, tenderness and / or hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles. To diagnose bruxism, polysomnographic study is seen as the gold standard. Here, the masticatory muscle activity is recorded, along with other measurements of biofysiological changes associated with sleep. To enable this, the subjects have to stay over for the night in a sleeping laboratory and are connected to measuring equipment, which both is considererd as stressful for the patient. Other disadvantages of polysomnographic study is the technical complexity and the high costs. An alternative to the polysomnographic examination to help diagnose bruxism without the above mentioned disadvantages is therefore desirable. This narrative review aims to examine a less invasive, but still reliable method for diagnosing bruxism. In this review, articles were analyzed for their reliability and diagnostic value of their described equipment . From this review, there can be concluded that there is indeed ambulatory equipment that can reliably diagnose bruxism. Reliable devices are the BMS and the Monet, with advice to further research. SOMNOscreen also achieved good results, however the reliability and the diagnostic value· of this device could not be determined correctly. Additional research is needed for this.
