Brief Summary
This study aims to analyze the prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) in wind musicians, differentiating the impact by instrument type (woodwind vs. brass) and identifying potential risk factors (embouchure, posture, practice time). A cross-sectional observational design will be used, including professional and student musicians from orchestras and conservatories.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Prevalence of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) in Wind Musicians
Percentage of musicians diagnosed with TMD based on the DC/TMD questionnaire and clinical examination.
Data will be collected in a single session per participant during the study period, estimated from March 1, 2025, to April 15, 2025.
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Comparison of TMD prevalence between woodwind and brass musicians
Data will be collected in a single session per participant during the study period, estimated from March 1, 2025, to April 15, 2025.
Association between practice hours per week and TMD symptoms
Data will be collected in a single session per participant during the study period, estimated from March 1, 2025, to April 15, 2025.
Mandibular Mobility Comparison in Musicians with and without TMD
Data will be collected in a single session per participant during the study period, estimated from March 1, 2025, to April 15, 2025.
Study Arms (2)
Wind Woodwind Musicians
Musicians playing woodwind instruments (clarinet, saxophone, oboe, fagot, flute).
Wind Brass Musicians
Musicians playing brass instruments (trumpet, trombone, tuba, horn).
Interventions
Not applicable (Observational Study)
