ABSTRACT

Introduction: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the main cause of vertigo of vestibular origin. Its etiology, among others, has been associated with dental procedures, and Maxillofacial Surgery. 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 Benign Paroxysmal Postural Vertigo 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, 159 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, triggered by changes in the position of the head. Its etiology related to dental procedures and maxillofacial surgery is related to prolonged position and the use of percussion and/or rotary instruments during procedures performed in the maxillofacial region. Therefore, it is essential that the Maxillofacial Surgeon recognizes the signs and symptoms of this condition.
