Introduction: Technique of playing violin requires violinist to adjust the instrument on their left shoulder while the
mandible helps holding it. The outcome is continuous mechanical force to area of craniofacial and neck. This force
can induce temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The aim of this research was to obtain the description of diagnosis
of TMD in violinists of Alliance Violin Community Bandung. Methods: This was a descriptive research. The
subjects for this research were (n=34) violinists who became the members of Alliance Violin Community Bandung.
Purposive sampling was used as sampling technique for this research. The procedure used for this research was
referred to Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Results: The result of this research
was 30 (16 females and 14 males) violinists with age ranging from 15-30 years old of Alliance Violin Community
Bandung were diagnosed with TMD (88.24%). The description of diagnosis of TMD in violinists of Alliance Violin
Community Bandung was dominated by disc displacement with reduction with 23 cases (67.65%), arthralgia with 5
cases (14.71%), and myalgia with 4 cases (11.77%). Conclusion: TMD were common in violinists of Alliance Violin
Community Bandung, thereby we could conclude that violinists had a high risk of suffering from TMD. The method
that was used in this study, DC/TMD, provided more detailed diagnosis so the violinists can raise their awareness of
TMD to optimize early medical diagnosis and treatment.
