“…About 92 % patients of this study group required some kind of gingival / periodontal treatment which was similar to the findings of Barnes and Hede [2,12], while the control group exhibited lower prevalence with 83.49% patients requiring intervention.…”

Background: This study was conducted to assess the dental treatment requirements of psychiatric patients in comparison with the non psychiatric patients admitted in the hospital. Methods: A total of 103 hospitalised psychiatric patients were examined with an equal number of non psychiatric hospitalized patients. Result: 73.22 % of psychiatric patients exhibited higher caries index along with higher decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) as compared to 68.31% in the control group. The incidence of periodontal diseases were significantly higher among the study group than the controls. There were statistically significant correlation between smoking, family pattern, calculus index and gingival index amongst psychiatric patients. Conclusion: There was a higher incidence of caries index, missing teeth and less filled teeth among psychiatric patients, indicating extensive dental treatment requirement for this group.

“…Several studies of the oral health of psychiatric patients in different countries have showed that mental illnesses and the psychotropic medications used to treat them can increase the prevalence and the severity of dental diseases (e.g., caries) [5–20]. Schizophrenia should be considered a risk factor for poor oral health because patients with schizophrenia are likely to face a unique set of factors that lead to the development of advanced oral diseases—and to receive less oral health care [21–28].…”

“…Several studies of the dental health of these patients have shown that they have extensive dental needs, which has a negative impact on their quality of life [5, 6, 12, 20, 25, 27]. Long-term hospitalisation may result in increased oral diseases, especially dental caries and periodontal disease, because preventive dental care is not an integral part of psychiatric care [10, 11, 14–16, 23, 27].…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the dental status (DMFT) in patients with schizophrenia compared with a control group.MaterialIn this case–control study, 50 patients with schizophrenia attended in the Psychiatric Unit at the Virgen Macarena University Hospital of Seville were compared with 50 people (without systemic diseases and not taking psychotropic drugs) in a control group attended in the School of Dentistry of Seville. Decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) were assessed according to the World Health Organization WHO criteria.ResultsPatients with schizophrenia showed a decayed teeth (DT) score of 7.26 ± 5.69 compared with 6.50 ± 4.37 for patients the control group. These differences were significant and suggest that dental caries are most prevalent in patients with schizophrenia. People who smoked showed significantly higher DT scores in both groups. Among patients with schizophrenia, smokers scored 9.34 ± 5.42 compared with 4.38 ± 4.82 for non-smokers. Among the healthy controls, smokers scored 6.88 ± 4.85 compared with 6.12 ± 3.85 for non-smokers (p < 0.05). Patients with schizophrenia showed a missing teeth (MT) score of 9.10 ± 8.56 compared with 5.38 ± 5.14 in control patients. MT scores increased significantly with age and with smoking in both groups of patients (p < 0.05). Patients with schizophrenia showed a filled teeth (FT) score of 1.38 ± 2.70 compared with 2.34 ± 3.48 in control patients. FT differences in gender and smoking habits between patients with schizophrenia and healthy control subjects were statistically significant (p < 0.05). This data, along with the DT scores, suggests that patients with schizophrenia have extensive untreated dental disease.ConclusionsPatients with schizophrenia constitute a high risk population for dental health. This group showed a greater prevalence of decayed and missing teeth and more extensive treatment needs.

Aim:The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of tobacco consumption among psychiatric jail patients residing in Central Jail, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.Materials and Methods:The study subjects consisted of prediagnosed psychiatric patients residing in Central Jail, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. A matched control consisting of cross-section of the population, that is, jail inmates residing in the same Central Jail locality was also assessed to compare the psychiatric subjects. An 18 item questionnaire was used to assess the prevalence of tobacco consumption among study subjects.Results:The total number of subjects examined was 244, which comprised of 122 psychiatric inmates and 122 nonpsychiatric inmates. Among all psychiatric inmates, about 57.4% of inmates had a diagnosis of depression, 14.8% had psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia), and 12.3% had anxiety disorder. A total of 77% study inmates, which comprised of 87.7% psychiatrics and 66.4% nonpsychiatrics had a habit of tobacco consumption (smokeless or smoking).Conclusion:The information presented in this study adds to our understanding of the common tobacco related practices among psychiatric inmate population. Efforts to increase patient awareness of the hazards of tobacco consumption and to eliminate the habit are needed to improve oral and general health of the prison population.
