Given that the clinical presentations of sleep bruxism are relevant to dentistry, the early detection of sleep bruxism is of particular interest to dentists. However, the gold standard for sleep bruxism diagnosis involves polysomnography with audio-visual recording - a resource intensive and mostly inaccessible diagnostic method. As such, ambulatory devices to detect sleep bruxism have the potential to address the limitations of polysomnography. This review of the literature was carried out up until December 2024 on commercially available ambulatory devices in detecting sleep bruxism. Select ambulatory devices appear promising as a preliminary screening tool for sleep bruxism both in clinical practice and for domestic use.</p>","PeriodicalId":8593,"journal":{"name":"Australian dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"S53-S62"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937739/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143456733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starting with the discussion of the evolving current knowledge on SB, the interconnections are discussed. Most of the available literature focused on the possible relationship between OSA and SB, but a clear pathophysiological connection or temporal relationship has not been identified. Despite the paucity of data on the possible commonalities, SB, OSA and GERD constitute a complex network of conditions that may affect the clinical and research dental practice, and they are rarely found in isolation. In this scenario, the key role of dental practitioners as sentinel in the case of these sleep-related conditions is important, thanks to their ability and the knowledge to identify signs, symptoms and risk factors that are signs of ongoing sleep-related conditions. Thus, dental practitioners are recommended to view bruxism as a potential gateway to medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":8593,"journal":{"name":"Australian dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"S38-S44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937737/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many patients respond poorly or do not tolerate these 'anatomic' therapies. The emerging field of 'precision sleep medicine' seeks to determine if novel treatment approaches specifically targeting the other, 'non-anatomic' mechanisms will improve treatment efficacy and acceptance.
