Aerodontalgia
Definition
An acute and sudden toothache triggered by sudden variations in ambient barometric pressure; it typically manifests in pilots, divers, or passengers during high-altitude flight or diving. This pathophysiological phenomenon occurs due to the expansion of air volume trapped accidentally underneath faulty fillings, untreated cavities, or root canals.
