Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

to measure strength of the deep anterior neck muscles with a new measurement protocol and by using the NOD device, a dynamometer, in subjects with and without bruxism, and compared to EMG on the superficial muscles of the anterior neck and the masseter muscle.
