Abstract

Good dental health is an essential ingredient of the aeronautic dentistry. Mission requirements dictate that flying personnel receive optimal dental care. The importance of close liaison between the flight surgeon\'s office and the dental treatment facility cannot be overemphasized. The flight surgeon should be aware of all aircrew personnel who are undergoing dental treatment. The flight surgeon must be notified when drugs or medications are administered to, or prescribed for, the aircrew member. This paper reviewed the duties of aeronautic dentist in space mission.

Key words: Aeronautic dentistry, dentist, space mission
