Abstract

Barodontalgia, barometric pressure-induced dental pain, may occur during hyperbaric oxygen therapy due to pressure changes. This case report represents an 8-year-old male patient with barodontalgia. The patient declared a severe toothache during hyperbaric therapy. The diving medicine specialist referred the patient to the dental clinician immediately. Upon clinical examination, the pain was thought to be caused by caries lesions of the deciduous teeth in the left maxillary molar region. Tooth extraction was suggested. After extraction, patient continued hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions without any pain. Patient was recommended for a session to intraoral and radiographic examination one week after the extraction. In conclusion, caries lesions and faulty restorations should be examined before hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions. Even though barodontalgia is a rare phenomenon, dental examination is essential to avoid these kinds of pain-related complications. All carious lesions and defective restorations must be treated, if necessary. Removal of faulty restorations, and management of inflammation as part of the treatment is suggested before being exposed to pressure changes.

高压氧治疗期间的一名8岁男性压力痛:1例报告

压力疼痛，气压引起的牙痛，可能发生在高压氧治疗期间，由于压力的变化。本病例报告为一8岁男性患者，患有牙颌痛。病人说在高压氧治疗期间牙痛得很厉害。潜水医学专家立即将病人转介给牙科临床医生。经临床检查，认为疼痛是由左上颌磨牙区乳牙龋病引起的。建议拔牙。拔牙后，患者继续进行高压氧治疗，无任何疼痛。建议患者在拔牙一周后进行一次口腔内和x线检查。综上所述，在高压氧治疗前应检查龋损和修复不良。尽管牙痛是一种罕见的现象，牙科检查是必要的，以避免这些类型的疼痛相关的并发症。如有必要，必须治疗所有龋齿损伤和有缺陷的修复体。在暴露于压力变化之前，建议移除有缺陷的修复体，并将炎症管理作为治疗的一部分。
