Journal of Aeronautic Dentistry

This short report explains and details the Mars Direct plan. Why should we explore Mars? In debating an answer to this question, the space community has revealed a deep divide: one that extends beyond policy to ouch at the basic meaning of exploration and other side a scientific vision of Mars, with a focus on telerobotic exploration, may not excite the public to the same extent as human missions. Our present-day understanding of Mars, which drives the human scientific goals and objectives, is summarized.

Key words: Human mission, Mars 

Aeronautic dentistry is specialized branch of dentistry which deals with the study of application of dentistry inaeronautic environment. Aeronautic dentistry course has been started first in Kepler space university by Balwant Rai. This paper reviews the curriculum of aerounatic dentistry.

Barodontalgia, a dental pain evoked by a change in barometric pressure in an otherwise asymptomatic tooth, may be severe enough to cause in-flight vertigo, incapacitation, and premature cessation of flightsand altitude-chamber simulations. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of barodontalgia among Indian pilots. Five hundred questionnaires consisting of demographic data and questions about the occurrence of tooth pain during flying were distributed among pilots. Almost 20.6% of the sample experienced barodontalgia at one point in time during their practice. More pilots had an occurrence of pain while flying. Pilots had higher incidence of pain while ascending than descending. The highest percentage of tooth pain occurred in pilots while flying at an altitude that ranged from 11,000-20,000 ft. Recurrence of tooth pain after treatment occurred in few pilots. Conclusively, barodontalgia is common inIndia with a prevalence rate is high. Pilots reported high occurrence and it was common on ascent whileflying and descent.

Key Words: Barodontalgia; tooth pain; pilots; India, treatment.
