Onderzocht werd of zangers vaker TMD-pijn en kaakgewrichtsgeluiden rapporteren dan musici die hun kauwstelsel tijdens het musiceren niet belasten. Daarnaast werd onderzocht welke risicoindicatoren verband hielden met kaakklachten onder musici. In totaal vulden 1.470 muzikanten uit 50 verschillende muziekensembles een vragenlijst in, waaronder 306 zangers (experimentele groep) en 209 musici die hun kaak niet belasten tijdens musiceren (controlegroep). De prevalentie van zelfgerapporteerde TMD-pijn onder zangers was 21,9% en 12,0% in de controlegroep. Van de zangers rapporteerde 19,6% kaakgewrichtsgeluiden versus 14,8% van de controles. Uit het meervoudige regressiemodel, waarbij rekening werd gehouden met confounders zoals leeftijd en geslacht, bleek dat zangers niet vaker TMD-pijn en kaakgewrichtsgeluiden rapporteerden dan niet-zangers. Wel waren diverse vormen van fysieke belasting positief geassocieerd met de aanwezigheid van zelfgerapporteerde TMD onder musici, te weten het uitvoeren van schadelijke mondgewoonten met TMD-pijn en kaakgewrichtsgeluiden, het aantal uren dagelijkse oefening met TMD-pijn en het aantal jaren speelervaring met kaakgewrichtsgeluiden.
Singing is not associated with temporomandibular disorders
This research investigated whether vocalists report pain-related forms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds more often than musicians who do not load their masticatory system while playing. In addition, we investigated which risk indicators were associated with TMDs among musicians. A total of 1,470 musicians from 50 different music ensembles completed a questionnaire, including 306 vocalists (the group investigated) and 209 musicians who do not load their jaw while playing (the control group). The prevalence of self-reported TMD pain among the vocalists was 21.9%, compared with 12.0% in the control group. 19.6% of the vocalists reported TMJ sounds versus 14.8% of the controls. From the multiple regression model, taking into account the effect of confounders, such as age and gender, singers were not shown to report TMD pain and jaw joint sounds more often than non-singers. Various forms of physical workload were, however, positively associated with the presence of self-reported TMDs among musicians, namely the intensity of harmful oral habits with TMD pain and TMJ sounds, the number of hours of daily practice with TMD pain, and the number of years of playing experience with TMJ sounds.
