This study was conducted to assess the dental treatment requirements of psychiatric patients in comparison with the non psychiatric patients admitted in the hospital.
A total of 103 hospitalised psychiatric patients were examined with an equal number of non psychiatric hospitalized patients.
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.
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.
本研究旨在评估精神病患者与该医院收治的非精神病患者的牙科治疗需求。
对103名住院精神病患者和同等数量的非精神病住院患者进行了检查。
73.22%的精神病患者龋齿指数较高,同时龋失补牙数(DMFT)也较高,而对照组这一比例为68.31%。研究组牙周疾病的发病率显著高于对照组。在精神病患者中,吸烟、家庭模式、牙石指数和牙龈指数之间存在统计学上的显著相关性。
精神病患者的龋齿指数、缺牙率较高,补牙数较少,表明该群体对牙科治疗的需求广泛。
