  • Title: Nocturnal electromyographic evaluation of bruxism patients undergoing short term splint therapy.
    Author: Solberg WK, Clark GT, Rugh JD.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1975 Jul; 2(3):215-23. PubMed ID: 1056979.
    Abstract:
    Eight confirmed bruxist subjects were investigated using portable electromyographic equipment. Nocturnal masseteric muscle activity, as measured by electromyography, was reduced immediately following the insertion of a full arch maxillary stabilization splint. It remained low until the splints were removed, at which time all but one subject's EMG values returned to pretreatment levels. Although the short-term spling therapy did not show a permanent reduction in EMG levels, a dramatic reduction has been demonstrated during treatment.
