چکیده
Barodontalgia is a symptom that reflects a flare up of preexisting sub clinical oral disease. Deep sea divers, Aircrew members and passengers are at increased risk of experiencing barodontalgia due to exposure to increased air pressure. It is important for dentists to understand the etiology and features of barodontalgia in order to prevent it. This article reviews the literature regarding barodontalgia, its etiology, features, and prevention.

متن کاملBarodontalgia: a review, and the influence of simulated diving on microleakage and on the retention of full cast crowns.
This paper reviews the causes of barodontalgia and reports on a study that indicates a possible cause of barodontalgia in the diver. In the study, extracted teeth had full cast crowns cemented with either a zinc phosphate, a glass ionomer, or a resin cement, and simulated diving to 30 m (3.0 atmospheres) was performed. During simulated diving, the teeth were pressure cycled 15 times to 3 atmosp...
