Bruxism of bruxism. Examples include the "Bruxcore Bruxism-Monitoring Device" (BBMD, "Bruxcore Plate"), the "intra-splint force detector" (ISFD), and electromyographic devices to measure masseter or temporalis muscle activity (e.g. the "BiteStrip", and the "Grindcare"). The ICSD-R listed diagnostic criteria for sleep bruxism. The minimal criteria include both of the following: With the following criteria supporting the diagnosis: "Bruxism" is derived from the Greek word ("brykein") "to bite, "or" to gnash, grind the teeth".

Grinding (abrasive cutting) work in the machining fields, the term "cutting" is often understood to refer to the macroscopic cutting operations, and "grinding" is often mentally categorized as a "separate" process. This is why the terms are usually used separately in shop-floor practice. Lapping and sanding are subsets of grinding. Selecting which of the following grinding operations to be used is determined by the size, shape, features and the desired production rate. "Surface grinding" uses a rotating abrasive wheel to remove material, creating a flat surface. The tolerances that are normally achieved with grinding are ± for grinding a flat material and ±
