The relationship between oral and mental health has been controversial. Few studies have assessed the direct effects of oral health management on mental health and psychological disease. Using evidence from the last 5 years, this scoping review aimed to map and discuss recent progress in understanding this relationship.
Electronic literature searches were performed using PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases. An additional manual search was performed using Google Scholar databases. Studies were selected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 flow diagram.
An eligibility review process identified three randomized controlled trials for inclusion in this review. The oral health interventions and participants' target age, mental health status, and psychological diseases varied across these studies. The only study that reported an improvement included psychosocial support integrated with educational components of oral health as the intervention. The remaining two studies detected no significant impact of oral health interventions on mental health and psychological disease.
Evidence of the impact of oral health management on mental health and psychological disease is insufficient in studies published between 2017 and 2021.
口腔健康与心理健康之间的关系一直存在争议。很少有研究评估口腔健康管理对心理健康和心理疾病的直接影响。本范围综述利用过去 5 年的证据，旨在绘制和讨论理解这种关系的最新进展。
使用 PubMed、Web of Science、Cochrane 图书馆和 Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature 数据库进行电子文献检索。使用 Google Scholar 数据库进行额外的手动搜索。研究使用 2020 年系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目流程图进行选择。
资格审查过程确定了三项随机对照试验纳入本综述。这些研究中的口腔健康干预措施和参与者的目标年龄、心理健康状况和心理疾病各不相同。唯一报告口腔健康干预对心理健康和心理疾病有改善的研究包括将口腔健康的教育部分与心理社会支持相结合的干预措施。其余两项研究未发现口腔健康干预对心理健康和心理疾病有显著影响。
在 2017 年至 2021 年期间发表的研究中，口腔健康管理对心理健康和心理疾病影响的证据不足。
