| Research Abstract |
We measured nocturnal bruxism and sympathetic nerve activity(SNA) to bruxism patients, at a night with splint and at another night without splint. At a night with splint, some patients showed lower SNA compared with that measured at a night without splint. However other patients showed higher SNA at a night with splint on the contrary. The former patients showed lower frequency of bluxism events at a night with splint compared with that measured at a night without splint. We considered the method of the measurements devised in this study will play an important role to elucidate the relation between the effect of the sprint to sleep bruxism and the sympathetic nerve activity.
