BruxApp 2.5.8

WHAT IS BRUXAPP?

BruxApp is the first globally available, research-based smartphone app dedicated to the study and management of Bruxism and its health consequences. It was designed by top international experts in a multi-center Bruxism research project and developed in 25 Research Centres across the world.

WHAT CAN IT DO?

• To help assess the presence/absence of bruxism-related activities (e.g., teeth clenching or grinding, jaw clenching) and potential consequences.
• To rate the severity of bruxism, if present.
• As a biofeedback-based management tool for bruxism.
• To increase patients’ awareness of bruxism activities to avoid or correct negative habits.
• To make patients aware of the possible clinical consequences of bruxism and try to prevent them.
• To promote cutting-edge knowledge about bruxism based on the latest scientific research.

WHY IS BRUXAPP NEEDED?

Bruxism has been increasing in prevalence in recent years, involving jaw muscle motor activities like jaw or teeth clenching and grinding, potentially leading to clinical signs and symptoms such as tooth wear, failed dental restorations, muscle fatigue, and temporomandibular joint pain. A correct diagnosis is therefore essential to establishing early prevention and management regimens.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Studies with BruxApp have been supervised by experts as part of an ongoing multicenter research project on bruxism epidemiology and management coordinated by Prof. Daniele Manfredini at the University of Siena, Italy.

DEVELOPMENT

The app was developed by Goran Djukic, a program analyst at the Institute of Clinical Physiology, National Council of Research, University of Pisa, Italy. BruxApp is currently available in multiple languages: English, Italian, , French, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, Brazilian, Japanese, Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Greek, Polish, Lithuanian, Bosnian, Romanian, Turkish, Norwegian, and Croatian, with four more language versions soon to be released.
