Abstract
⺠Tested if choice of biomaterials for occlusal splints influences biological outcome such as jaw-muscle activity during sleep. ⺠Jaw-muscle activity during sleep was decreased by wearing hard-material occlusal splint. ⺠Jaw-muscle activity during sleep was not influenced by wearing soft-material occlusal splint. ⺠This specific choice of biomaterials may have impact on the neurobiological regulation of jaw-muscle activity during sleep.
