Abstract

This fuller impact of the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy within dentistry is taking greater notice with newer research findings. There are new advancements in research regarding postradiotherapy cases, osteonecrosis of the jaw, osteomyelitis, periodontal disease, and dental implants. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can even be used in conjunction with other procedures such as bone grafting. Although the research and clinical utility has come a long way, there are several complications to be mindful of during the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Keywords: dental implants; dentistry; hyperbaric oxygen therapy; mandibular osteomyelitis; oral submucous fibrosis; osteoradionecrosis of the jaw; periodontal disease.
