Abstract
The masticatory muscle relaxation appliance is developed to improve the malhabit of tooth clenching of the wearer. The repeated clenching of the tooth causes excessive attrition of tooth set. The intraoral appliance measures the tooth clenching pressure data and transmits the data to masticatory muscle relaxation appliance. The appliance compares the pressure data with the reference value and generates the warning signal. The relaxation appliance also stores the clenching pressure data for clenching habit analysis. The appliance is designed with a microprocessor, real time clock, nonvolatile read write memory and dual serial communication ports.
