Sleep... Let's Get to the Brux of the Matter!
| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | York | | City: | Vaughan, ON | | School: | Richmond Hill Montessori and Elementary Private School | | Abstract: | Sleep bruxism afflicts a large percentage of the population. Current methods of diagnosis are not very accurate. Therefore, a diagnostic appliance was created for measuring bruxism objectively. The device consisted of a force sensor and an Adafruit board. It was tested on dental models mounted on an articulator. The results indicate that the device can be very effective in diagnosing bruxism with objective data. |
