Analysis of dental care in Antarctic crews: Dental problems, case studies and treatments
Dental issues are relatively common in Antarctic stations both during short-term and long-term expeditions. In overwintering crews, dental problems may reach 10-15% of overall medical cases. In the expeditions working only during the austral summer season, the proportion of dental problems is lower,...

Dental issues are relatively common in Antarctic stations both during short-term and long-term expeditions. In overwintering crews, dental problems may reach 10-15% of overall medical cases. In the expeditions working only during the austral summer season, the proportion of dental problems is lower, typically not exceeding 5%. In our study, facilities available recently for dental care in Antarctica, considering seasonal – and year-round operated stations, are overviewed. Several case studies are reported in order to show the treatment of the most frequent dental problems that happen in Antarctica in short-term (seasonal) and long-term (overwintering) expeditions. Our study brings an analysis of dental cases reported by Czech Antarctic Program within 15 years (2008-2015) and the Brazilian Antarctic Program (2018-2023). New trends in dental care in Antarctica are discussed including telemedicine and integrated systems. |
