Bruxism has gone through an impressively fast revolution over the past few years. In particular, with the very first comprehensive evaluation system on the near horizon, there is a need to implement the strategy to convey standardised messages in self-reported bruxism studies. Concerning the field of awake bruxism research, this need assumes importance in the light of the novel smartphone-based approach to the real time report of jaw muscle behaviours.
Based on that, this hands-on webinar, open to all interested clinicians and researchers, will browse participants through the main requirements to a proper prescription of the smartphone application and its use for research purposes.
