Abstract

<p>Sleep braxism (SB) is considered as a risk factor for various dental ailments. Treatments and managements of SB are important matters in dental clinical practice. Appropriate diagnosis and assessment are indispensable for the treatments and managements of SB. It has been earnestly desired to introduce an accurate and simple examination method to the dental practice. In April 2020, the electromyography (EMG) on masticatory muscle during sleep to diagnose and assess SB was covered by the Japanese government insurance system. The introduction of sleep electromyography using a wearable EMG device into daily clinical practice and the insurance coverage are expected to improve quality of dental practice, including realization of tailor-made treatments based on objective indicators, and its innovative effect is expected. In addition, the wearable EMG device has potential to be applied to various researches and clinical practices in a wide range of fields.</p>
