The aim of this study was to review the current knowledge regarding dental barotrauma.
A search using the PubMed Bibliographic Index and Index-Medicus was performed to identify articles in English that were published between 1930 and 2007. The reference lists of the resulting articles were searched to find publications relating to dental barotrauma.
Only a few scientific publications reported this phenomenon. Moreover, a significant part of the relevant literature was from more than 60 years ago. There was no published study on the current incidence rate of this phenomenon.
Besides other oral manifestations of barometric pressure changes, such as barodontalgia (barometric pressure-related oral pain), a clinician should be familiar with this entity and take preventive measures as well as periodically examine his or her patients who fly planes or scuba dive. The clinician should also search for occult pathologies such as leaking restorations or secondary caries lesions. In addition, the clinician should be aware of the possible influence of pressure changes on the retention of prosthetic devices and plan treatment accordingly.
本研究旨在回顾当前关于牙气压伤的知识。
利用PubMed书目索引和医学索引进行检索,以识别1930年至2007年间发表的英文文章。对所得文章的参考文献列表进行检索,以查找与牙气压伤相关的出版物。
仅有少数科学出版物报道了这一现象。此外,相关文献的很大一部分来自60多年前。目前尚无关于这一现象发生率的已发表研究。
除气压变化的其他口腔表现,如气压性牙痛(与气压相关的口腔疼痛)外,临床医生应熟悉这一情况,并采取预防措施,定期检查乘坐飞机或进行水肺潜水的患者。临床医生还应查找隐匿性病变,如修复体渗漏或继发龋损。此外,临床医生应意识到压力变化对修复装置固位的可能影响,并据此制定治疗计划。
