Dental tourism and the risk of barotrauma and barodontalgia. Background and aim Dental tourism, which reflects the provision of health care services abroad, also includes a travelling component. Air travel after dental intervention may cause barotrauma and barodontalgia. This paper aimed to provide guiding principles regarding the minimal time interval between dental procedures and air travel

) of these had a dental trauma. Other dental problems such as barodontalgia were more common than dental traumas. A sensation of pressure or pain was noticed in 13% (n = 135) of the participants at least once. Of all the participants who suffered pain, 54.1% reported one or several previous restorations. Pain medication was beneficial in 92.1%. Dental traumas are rare while doing alpine sports
for restorative dentistry for patients who are divers to limit barodontalgia (dental pain caused by pressure variations of the environment) and may lead to dangerous sequelae.Methods We bonded 20 dentine disks by using an adhesive system (Scothbond Universal) to ten intact composite cylinders and ten composite cylinders with porosity (Ceram X mono). For each group, the samples were divided into two subgroups
symptoms during a dive. Barodontalgia was the most frequently experienced dental symptom during a dive.Conclusion Within the limits of the small sample size and online method of recruitment, the findings of this study suggest that a high proportion of recreational divers may experience dental symptoms during a dive. It would be meaningful to ensure that dental decay and damaged restorations are addressed
. In addition, dysfunction of the sphenoid sinus can result in involvement of any of the divisions of the trigeminal nerve. The two other divisions go to the forehead and the jaw with the same symptoms. [28] Tooth squeezeWhen considering barodontalgia (tooth squeeze), it is important to recognize that many of the head and neck issues discussed before and after this section can cause referred pain leading the affected individual to believe that it is dental in origin. This is classified as indirect barodontalgia and is related to disease, such as upper respiratory tract infection or chronic sinusitis, in the air spaces such as the sinuses or ears. As these are above the oral cavity, the sensation of pain usually involves the upper teeth and as it is frequently due to an equalization issue, it is noticed

Barodontalgia. Although considered rare, dentists may encounter oral pain evoked by a change in barometric pressure, a condition known as barodontalgia (aerodontalgia). The article reviews the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnostic process and differential diagnosis (including facial and dental barotrauma) of this phenomenon. Preventive measures are described as well.
the concepts of aviation (aerospace) medicine and dentistry. Data were gathered to cover the following issues: head and facial barotraumas (barotrauma-related headache, external otitic barotrauma, barosinusitis and barotitis-media), dental barotrauma (barometric pressure-related tooth injury), barodontalgia (barometric pressure-related oro-dental pain), and dental care for aircrews.
