Abstract

Objectives

Bruxism is a parafunctional orofacial behavior. For diagnosis, wearable devices that use sounds as biomarkers can be applied to provide the necessary information. Human beings emit various verbal and nonverbal sounds, making it challenging to identify bruxism-induced sounds. We wanted to investigate whether the acoustic emissions of different oral behaviors have distinctive characteristics and if the placement of the transducer has an impact on recording the sound signals.

Material and Methods

Sounds from five oral behaviors were investigated: jaw clenching, teeth grinding, reading, eating, and drinking. Eight transducers were used; six were attached to the temporal, frontal, and zygomatic bones with the aid of medical tape, and two were integrated into two commercial earphones. The data from 15 participants were analyzed using time-domain energy, spectral flux, and zero crossing rate (ZCR).

Results

In summary, all oral behaviors showed distinct characteristic features except jaw clenching, though there was a peak in the recording, possibly due to tooth tapping, before its expected onset. For teeth grinding, the transducer placement did not have a significant impact (p > 0.05) based on energy, spectral flux, and ZCR. For jaw clenching, the transducer placement had an impact with regard to spectral flux (p < 0.01). For reading and eating, the transducer placement had a significant impact with regard to energy (p < 0.05 for reading, p < 0.01 for eating), spectral flux (p < 0.001 for reading, p < 0.01 for eating), and ZCR (p < 0.001 for both reading and eating). For drinking, the transducer placement only had a significant impact with regard to ZCR (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

We were able to record the sounds of various oral behaviors from different locations on the head. However, the ears were an advantageous location to place the transducer, since they could compensate for various head movements and ear devices are socially tolerable.

开发用于检测磨牙症的可穿戴设备:通过头部记录的自愿口腔行为取决于传感器的位置。
目的:磨牙症是一种副功能性口颌行为。在诊断时,可将声音作为生物标记的可穿戴设备可提供必要的信息。人类会发出各种语言和非语言的声音,因此识别磨牙症引起的声音具有挑战性。我们希望研究不同的口腔行为发出的声音是否具有不同的特征,以及传感器的位置是否会对声音信号的记录产生影响:我们调查了五种口腔行为发出的声音:下颌紧咬、磨牙、阅读、进食和饮水。共使用了八个换能器,其中六个用医用胶带粘贴在颞骨、额骨和颧骨上,另外两个集成在两个商用耳机中。使用时域能量、频谱通量和过零率(ZCR)对 15 名参与者的数据进行了分析:总之,除下颌紧握外,所有口腔行为都表现出明显的特征,但在其预期开始前,记录中出现了一个峰值,可能是由于牙齿敲击造成的。对于磨牙,根据能量、频谱通量和 ZCR,换能器的位置没有显著影响(p > 0.05)。对于下颌紧咬,换能器的位置对频谱通量有影响(p 结论:对于下颌紧咬,换能器的位置对频谱通量有影响:我们能够从头部的不同位置记录各种口腔行为的声音。不过,耳朵是放置传感器的一个有利位置,因为耳朵可以补偿头部的各种运动,而且耳部装置在社会上是可以容忍的。

期刊介绍: Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
