Abstract
Objectives: To highlight the critical need for integrated healthcare approaches for individuals with severe mental disorders and poor oral health.
Materials and methods: Review and discussion of factors contributing to elevated DMFT (decayed, missing, and filled primary teeth) indices in individuals with severe mental disorders.
Results: Higher DMFT indices are reported in individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder due to medication side effects, cognitive impairments, and socio-economic challenges.
Conclusions: Emphasis on the necessity of combining mental and dental health services through regular dental check-ups, specialized education programs, and professional collaboration.
Clinical relevance: Integrated healthcare strategies are essential to improve overall patient care and well-being for those with severe mental disorders.
