ABSTRACT

Introduction: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the main cause of vertigo of vestibular origin, with a lifetime prevalence of 2.4%. Its etiology has been associated with dental procedures, oral and maxillofacial surgery, among others. Maxillofacial surgeon must have knowledge about this disease, since delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to physical and occupational disability. Objective: to present a review of the published literature on BPPV associated with dental and maxillofacial surgery procedures. Material and methods: an unfiltered search was performed in the PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. Relevant articles that established an association between BPPV and Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery were included. When applying the search strategy, a total of 187 articles were found. After applying the inclusion, exclusion and elimination criteria, 158 articles were excluded. A total of 29 publications were included in this study. Conclusion: BPPV is characterized by the repetition of episodes of vertigo lasting seconds to minutes without other otological symptoms (hearing loss, tinnitus, otalgia or facial paralysis), triggered by changes in the position of the head. Its etiology is related to dental procedures and maxillofacial surgery, the prolonged position and the use of percussion and/or rotary instruments during procedures performed in the maxillofacial region. It is essential that the Maxillofacial Surgeon recognizes the signs and symptoms of this condition, since early diagnosis and treatment, through repositioning maneuvers, can improve the prognosis of the patient.
