ABSTRACT

In the last decades, the number of people who practice self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving has increased, which makes it important for dentists to be prepared to address and treat complications resulting from its practice. While performing the sport, pressure may change and induced micro-motion derived from holding the tube of oxygen can lead to an early implant failure. Diving is not recommended during the first five weeks to two months after the implant placement. In surgeries where the associated procedures are more complex, a greater recovery period is recommended.
