摘要：

A CASE REPORTING BAROTRAUMA to the parotid gland secondarily to the use of an air-powder prophylaxis unit is presented. Air pressure associated with these units usually exceeds that for air/driven turbines or air/water dental syringes, yet the reported incidence of iatrogenic trauma is very low. Improper angulation in the use of these instruments may result in serious sequellae. Differential diagnosis and physical examination following trauma to the parotid is discussed.
