Abstract
Barodonatalgia is defined as a pressure induced dental pain that can occur both at high and low pressures. In the orofacial region, barotrauma is manifested either as facial barotraumas (eg, barosinusitis and barotitismedia) or dental barotrauma This review outlines the etiology, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis and recommendations for prevention and management of barodontalgia and barotrauma. When treating patients associated with aviation or diving, clinicians should cautiously examine and treat fractured cusps, caries, areas of dentin exposure and integrity of restorations and prosthesis to prevent barometric-related dental problems.
