| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between chronic stress and temporalis muscle activity during four nights. Forty-four female subjects were recruited in five dental practices located in different areas of the federal state of Saarland, Germany (dental practice network in Saarland). The following inclusion criteria were used: female, aged between 18 and 65, no somatization or depression, and no pain medication, graded chronic pain status < 3. Both subjects reporting about sleep bruxism and subjects negating sleep bruxism during anamnesis were included. Anamnestic issues, sleep bruxism, anxiety, and chronic stress were assessed using validated questionnaires. Temporalis muscle activity was measured for four nights using a portable electromyographic device. Correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation (Spearman-correlation) between chronic stress and number of temporalis muscle episodes/hour and between anxiety and the number of episodes/hour. The analysis showed that the factors "work overload" (adulthood chronic stress because of too many demands at work) and "pressure to perform" (necessity to be successful at work) were significantly correlated with the number of temporalis muscle episodes per hour. In contrast, anxiety was not correlated with temporalis muscle episodes per hour. Work-related chronic stress seems to be associated with an increased level of temporalis muscle activity during sleep. During anamnesis, work-related aspects should be assessed in females presenting with sleep-bruxism. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 May 2018.
All research outputs
#18,608,298
of 23,050,116 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Oral Investigations
#840
of 1,430 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,642
of 326,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Oral Investigations
#18
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,050,116 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,430 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,026 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
