Özet
Background. The term "barotrauma" used to describe a physical injury caused by a rapid or extreme change in air pressure. Enclosed areas within the body are particularly affected by barotrauma. Case Description. A 40-year-old man had complaints of restorations in three teeth fracturing and dislodging while he was scuba diving at a depth of 35 meters. The affected teeth contained carious dentin. The caries was removed, and the affected teeth underwent endodontic, restorative and prosthetic rehabilitation.
