Project details
Problem: Bruxism, the involuntary grinding and clenching of teeth, is a prevalent condition affecting millions worldwide. Current diagnostic methods rely heavily on subjective patient reports and dental assessments, often failing to detect the condition until significant damage has occurred. This leads to delayed interventions, undertreatment, and a substantial burden on individuals and healthcare systems.
Innovation: Wearable sensor technologies hold the potential to revolutionise bruxism diagnosis and management. By unobtrusively collecting real-time data on a range of physiological cues, these devices could provide objective, quantifiable evidence of bruxism events, informing early diagnosis and personalised treatment strategies.
Project Aims: This PhD project aims to develop and validate a novel wearable sensor system for comprehensive bruxism assessment. Key objectives include:
Outcomes: This project has the potential to yield a breakthrough in bruxism diagnostics, leading to earlier detection, individualised treatment plans, and improved outcomes for patients. The developed wearable system and AI algorithms could also form the basis for future research in related fields, such as sleep disorders and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
Entry Requirements:
Candidates must have a first or upper second class honours degree or significant research experience.
