The objective of the present study was to ascertain masticatory efficiency by evaluating electromyographic activity in masseter and temporalis muscles subjects with sleep bruxism varying severity, as determined BiteStrip. Thirty-four were divided into two groups: a mild group mean (± standard deviation) age 31.3 ± 6.2 years (n = 15) severe 29.8 7.1 19). Full-night polysomnography (PSG) performed eligible subjects. linear envelope integral used determine on basis signal during habitual non-habitual chewing. There significantly higher (p .05) than both peanut chewing right .03) left raisin .01) muscles. Furthermore, Parafilm M showed similar results .008) .02) These suggested that had lower efficiency.
