  • Title: Periodontal health in Swedish professional musicians.
    Author: Bergström J, Eliasson S.
    Journal: Swed Dent J; 1988; 12(1-2):33-8. PubMed ID: 3164915.
    Abstract:
    Periodontal health evaluated in terms of periodontal pocketing, tooth hypermobility and loss of teeth was studied and compared in musicians playing wind instruments and other instruments. 250 subjects aged 21-60 yr were examined. The number of teeth was high in both groups. No statistically significant differences between the groups were found with respect to pathological pockets or hypermobility. Regular playing of wind instruments did not seem to be associated with increased risk of deterioration in periodontal health.
