This study aimed to implement a biosensor device into a conventional bite night guard to detect bruxism. A layering process (sandwich technique) was utilized to integrate stress sensors, which were then inserted into an acrylic occlusal stabilization splint. The core components of the sensor system consisting of a server terminal, a core control module, and a "pressure sensor data acquisition unit". The occlusal force data analysis and parameter setup employed a machine learning technique. A prototype sensor platform was meticulously developed to assess each aspect of the smart splint comprehensively.
