This bibliographical review proposes as an objective to summarize the stomatognathic system modifications that occur in musicians who play wind instruments. Among the oral anomalies that abound most in the literature are focal dystonia, xerostomia, pharyngitis, angular cheilitis, cold sores and malocclusions but the impact and high prevalence among this type of musicians are: the increased teeth protrusion, crowding and adaquia. The increased teeth protrusion is a consequence of the pressure exerted by the mouthpiece on the palatal surface of the upper incisors, increasing the anteroposterior distance between the upper and lower incisors (with arcades in occlusion). It is concluded that the abnormal pressures generated by wind instruments on the stomatognathic apparatus cause alterations that may affect the oral mucosa, the muscles involved in the instrumental playing and dental occlusion.Downloads
