Pain may also be experienced in the gastrointestinal tract or even the teeth (barodontalgia).

In pilots, barodontalgia may be severe enough to cause premature cessation of flights.

The rate of barodontalgia was about 1 case per 100 flight-years in the Israeli Air Force.

One exception is barodontalgia manifested as referred pain from barosinusitis or barotitis-media.

Most of the available data regarding barodontalgia is derived from high-altitude chamber simulations rather than actual flights.

The Fédération dentaire internationale describes 4 classes of barodontalgia.

Similarly, cases of barodontalgia were reported in 0.3% of high altitude-chamber simulations in the Luftwaffe.

Dental barotrauma and barodontalgia.

A special condition is barodontalgia, a dental pain evoked upon changes in barometric pressure, in otherwise asymptomatic but diseased teeth.

Teeth (causing Barodontalgia, i.e. barometric pressure related dental pain, or dental fractures)

During World War II, about one-tenth of American aircrews had one or more episodes of barodontalgia.

Referred pain from barosinusitis to the maxilla consists about one-fifth of in-flight barodontalgia (i.e., pain in the oral cavity caused by barometric pressure change) cases.

Indeed, most of the common oral pathologies have been reported as possible sources of barodontalgia: dental caries, defective tooth restoration, pulpitis, pulp necrosis, apical periodontitis, periodontal pockets, impacted teeth, and mucous retention cysts.

Maxillary and mandibular dentitions were affected equally in flight, but in diving, maxillary dentition was affected more than the mandibular dentition, which can indicate a greater role for maxillary sinus pathology in diving barodontalgia.
