A case reporting barotrauma to the parotid gland secondarily to the use of an air-powder prophylaxis unit is presented. Air pressure associated with these units usually exceeds that for air/driven turbines or air/water dental syringes, yet the reported incidence of iatrogenic trauma is very low. Improper angulation in the use of these instruments may result in serious sequellae. Differential diagnosis and physical examination following trauma to the parotid is discussed.
本文报告了一例因使用气粉预防装置继发腮腺气压伤的病例。与这些装置相关的气压通常超过气动涡轮机或空气/水牙科注射器的气压，但报告的医源性创伤发生率非常低。使用这些器械时角度不当可能会导致严重的后遗症。文中讨论了腮腺创伤后的鉴别诊断和体格检查。
