New from Great Lakes Prosthodontics, the BiteStrip™ Kit contains everything a doctor needs to successfully use the BiteStrip including three BiteStrip units at a discounted price and a comprehensive “how to” guide.
The new Kit features three units, two for patient use and one for the doctor or technician to try. A self-study helps the clinician obtain an optimal level of comfort with the ease of use and effectiveness of the device. The guide shows the doctor how to…discuss the issue with a bruxing patient, help the patient understand the damaging and costly effects of bruxing, introduce the BiteStrip to the patient, get the best results from the study, and bill for the device. Also included in the guide are patient support materials such as informational handouts, a questionnaire, and detailed instructions.
The BiteStrip, a single use home screening device, can help identify the existence and frequency of bruxism. This unique new Kit can help avoid costly re-work and save both chair-side time and lost revenue.
An alternative to formal sleep and EMG studies, the BiteStrip is a low cost, easy to use device given to a patient suspected of bruxing. The test is conducted during sleep. The self-adhesive BiteStrip contains a sophisticated micro CPU that operates real-time acquisition and analysis software designed to detect and count EMG signals from the masticatory muscles. A score representing a range of events is recorded on the permanent display. The score, interpreted by the doctor, indicates the existence and frequency of bruxing.
The BiteStrip unit can be included as a part of the patient’s permanent medical record and used as a follow-up tool to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment as well.
