Abstract |
Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in a wind musician can limit or even eliminate the musician's ability to play. The design and application of a mandibular dental appliance for use as a performance aid for a clarinettist previously treated for TMJ dysfunction is described. Although the appliance may not return a player to the original performance level, in this case it did allow for a reasonable level of performance. |
