Abstract Background Sleep bruxism has been described as a combination of different orofacial motor activities that include grinding clenching and tapping although accurate distribution of the activities still remains to be clarified. Methods We developed a new system for analyzing sleep bruxism to examine the muscle activities and mandibular movement patterns during sleep bruxism. The system consisted of a 2-axis accelerometer electroencephalography and electromyography. Nineteen healthy volunteers were recruited and screened to evaluate sleep bruxism in the sleep laboratory. Results The new system could easily distinguish the different patterns of bruxism movement of the mandible and the body movement. Results showed that grinding
