Case study of muscle fatigue in parafunctional patient using occlusal device with fiber Bragg grating sensors

Abstract This case study describes a new method using a fiber optic Bragg grating sensor to determine muscle fatigue in a patient wearing a resilient occlusal device for the treatment of bruxism symptoms. Four tasks performed at maximum bite force induced rapid exhaustion for the analysis of fatigue...
