Summer is synonymous with the beach and, increasingly, with water sports. <\/span>In recent years, the “brave” who have dared to practice sports such as water skiing, kitesurfing, canoeing or rowing, have increased exponentially. <\/span>However, one of the most popular is diving which, despite the lack of an official census of professional divers, is estimated to range between 800 and 2,800 in our country. <\/span>And although it is a sport of great beauty and requires a series of knowledge and precautions to practice it safely, it can cause orofacial problems, mostly related to pressure changes. <\/span>A problem that has been gaining importance in recent years due to an increase in oral pathologies directly related to the practice of this sport.<\/span><\/span>
\nTo assess the prevalence of these problems and analyze the behavior of civilian divers based on their dental prevention, a cross-sectional study entitled “Barodontalgia and dental barotrauma among divers” was carried out in France, which was published in May of this same year. . <\/span><\/span>
\nThe survey, distributed from October to December 2020, analyzed the responses of 1,015 French divers, over 18 years of age, through a nationwide online questionnaire in which the participants, members of the French Federation of Underwater Sports, indicated information about orofacial problems experienced during your diving activity and your preventive medical habits.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The results<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a result, 25.2% of the divers experienced oral problems, including: barodontalgia (10.8%), oral syndrome (13.4%), gum pain (2.8%) and dental fractures. caused by barotrauma (3.7%) or blows (1.9%). <\/span>Oral syndrome was more frequent among women (18.6%) and divers aged between 18 and 34 years (18.9%). <\/span>On the other hand, the prevalence of dental fractures increased significantly with age. <\/span>A high level of diving was associated with more frequent barodontalgia (17.5%), gum pain (7%) and barotrauma (7.6%). <\/span>Among those surveyed, 43.5% completed a dental exam prior to a diving season and reported fewer oral problems during their dive than those who did not.<\/span><\/span>
\nIn conclusion, oral problems in diving are common and can compromise the safety of divers. <\/span>However, despite the growing awareness, there is a great lack of recourse to the dentist, which leads to incomplete information, especially regarding the preventive means available to divers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
