The present disclosure provides a computer implemented method for automatic detection of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding in a dataset representing the level of biting force vs. time of a subject, the method comprising the steps of a) calculating a threshold level of biting force assigned to time t=t1 based on a background level determined from the dataset at a prior time t=t1-Tback, where Tback is a first predefined period of time,b) checking the level of biting,and if the level of biting force at time,t, exceeds the threshold level assigned to time t for a second predefined period of time, Tclench/grind, then assigning an event of teeth clenching to time t,c) if an event of teeth clenching has been assigned to time t, then either waiting a predefined period of time 10 T wait,or waiting until the level of biting is below the threshold for another predefined period of time Tend, d) if no events of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding have been assigned for a third predefined period of time Tsilence, then repeating steps a)-c),e)if events of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding have been assigned for a third predefined period of time Tsilence, then repeating only steps b)-c). |
