 note = {Sleep bruxism (SB) is believed to be a masseter muscle activity caused by the central nervous system, thus distinguishing it from diurnal bruxism, which is thought to be an acquired behavior. Various local factors have been associated with the onset of SB, but a direct relationship with occlusion has been ruled out, whereas psychological stress is typically believed to be closely involved. The present study monitored both bruxist and non-bruxist subjects to observe their SB profiles and then compare and investigate the SB-inhibiting effects of several removable oral appliances. The subjects were teachers, undergraduate students, and postgraduate students from the Asahi University School of Dentistry. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects after carefully explaining the study aims and details. This study was conducted with the approval of the Asahi University School of Dentistryʼs Ethical Review Board (approval no. 22095). A comparison of the incidence of bruxism events when not wearing an oral appliance and when wearing the 3 types of appliances (thin plate, thick plate, SP) showed that the incidence decreased when wearing any of the 3 appliances relative to when no appliance was worn. Furthermore, a comparison of the event incidences of the 3 appliances demonstrated that the thin plate had the highest event incidence.},
