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".

Diamond grinding of pavement pavement. Another important effect of diamond grinding is the considerable increase in surface macrotexture and consequent improvement in skid resistance, noise reduction and safety. The industry can be traced back to an event where a single diamond blade mounted on a concrete saw was used to groove concrete pavement in the late 1940s. Since that early tentative step, concrete grinding, grooving and texturing with diamond blades has developed into what is today a multimillion-dollar industry that is practiced worldwide. One of the first uses of diamond grinding of highway pavement was in 1965 on a 19-year-old section of Interstate 10
