ABSTRACT
Wind instrument players are the ones who put their mouth, lips Jaws, teeth, tongue and face to a use which is different from the normal functions of eating, speaking and expression. Hence there is a clear need for an understanding of the dental requirements of players of wind instruments.1 The problems that may arise for the dental surgeon who is treating a wind instrument player are due to the fact that the eligibility of the musical sound produced and how he produces it while playing a musical passage is directly related to muscles of facial expression, during blowing. Hence it is necessary to design a prosthesis that would well adapt to the functional demands of the wind instrumentalist. The purpose of this article is to create an awareness among dental practitioners, about their role in rehabilitating a completely edentulous wind instrumentalist and also describes the technique to fabricate a specially designed prosthesis for wind instrument players -[The Embouchure denture]
