Oral health education (advice and training) for people with serious mental illness

Abstract

Oral health education (advice and training) for people with serious mental illness.

The Patient‐Centred Interdental Cleaning Concept—Consensus Based on a Round Table

“…Oral hygiene interventions related to information, instruction, motivation and the training of facilitators may have an impact on dental variables in general [ 67 ], especially for individuals with mental illness [ 68 , 69 ]. However, the existing evidence is heterogeneous regarding methods and results [ 70 , 71 ]. Low‐quality evidence exists for the benefit of any one‐to‐one oral hygiene advice [ 72 ], and there are mixed results for motivational interviewing [ 73 , 74 ].…”

Oral Health Status and Factors Related to Oral Health in Patients with Schizophrenia: A Matched Case-Control Observational Study

“…While there have been numerous publications reporting on the dental and periodontal health of SCZ patients worldwide, well-founded comparisons with our data is made difficult as studies from Central–Eastern Europe (and from similar healthcare settings) are scarce; this has been highlighted by the systematic review of Khokhar et al (2016) [ 58 ] and the systematic review and meta-analysis of Kisely et al (2018) [ 36 ]. A single-center, case-control study from Spain reported similar mean dental status parameters (D: 7.26, M: 9.10, F: 1.30, DMF-T: 17.74) and a correspondingly high prevalence of missing and filled teeth in SCZ patients, while no significant differences were noted on the basis of the patient’s sex [ 33 ].…”

Healthy Smiles: Promoting Good Oral Health for Youth With Serious Mental Illness

“…The importance of trusted mental health staff to support establishing self‐care routines and advocate for easier access to oral healthcare was emphasised by YSMI and carer participants in this study. The potential for mental health staff to provide education has been highlighted by others [ 35 ], however, evidence for effectiveness is variable [ 11 , 36 , 37 ]. YSMI participants in this current study suggested a multi‐method approach to education delivery, using a range of resources, could increase their confidence about attending dental appointments and looking after their mouth.…”
