Abstract

 The aim of this article is to introduce the concepts of aeronautic dentistry. In aircrews members may be facing numerous adverse effects such as head and facial barotraumas (barotrauma-related headache, external otitic barotrauma, barosinusitis and barotitis-media), dental barotrauma (barometric pressure-related tooth injury), barodontalgia (barometric pressure-related oro-dental pain). Special considerations have to be made when planning restorative, endodontic, prosthodontic and surgical treatment to an aircrew patient. This article reviews why aeronautic dentistry is an important subject.

Key words Aeronautic dentistry, dental practice, guidelines.
