Musicians and temporomandibular disorders: prevalence and occupational etiologic considerations.
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) appears to be a significant problem affecting musicians. While the incidence of TMD symptoms for musicians is similar to that of the general population, these symptoms are activated and accentuated when performing or practicing. TMD symptoms appear to be significant in trombone, trumpet, tuba, violin, and viola musicians. It is the author's opinion that vocalists are also significantly affected by TMD. Preliminary results of a survey in progress relative to TMD and the singing voice are reported.

Rationale for sequential use of both maxillary and mandibular orthopedic appliances in the treatment of TMJ disorders.
This paper describes how the use of a combination of maxillary and mandibular orthopedic appliances by TMJ patients can reduce iatrogenic stress and improve patient compliance with 24-hour use. This combination provides the patient with a proper appliance for anterior repositioning when sleeping and eliminates the fear of iatrogenic tooth depression or movement.
