Parkinson's disease (PD) poses a range of challenges, including oral health issues, that significantly impact the patient's quality of life. Despite growing awareness of PD, oral health receives limited attention. To shed light on this matter, this personal scoping review explores the perspectives of Professor K.G. Raphael, who is both a professional and a PD patient, on various aspects of oral health in PD.
Through semi-structured interviews, Prof. Raphael shares her insights on the complexities of oral health as a PD patient to compose an agenda for oral health care, research, and education, for PD patients.
She emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and education. Additionally, Prof. Raphael identifies crucial research areas, such as exploring the role of the oral microbiome and assessing the impact of exercise on oral health in PD.
This study resulted in agendas to improve oral health care, research and education, advocating for a holistic approach to enhance PD patients' well-being. Despite its limitations, this study highlights the imperative of integrating oral health into the broader management of PD, emphasising interdisciplinary collaboration and patient empowerment.
帕金森病（PD）带来了一系列挑战，包括口腔健康问题，这些问题对患者的生活质量有重大影响。尽管人们对帕金森病的认识不断提高，但口腔健康受到的关注却有限。为了阐明这一问题，本次个人范围综述探讨了K.G.拉斐尔教授作为专业人士和帕金森病患者，对帕金森病口腔健康各个方面的看法。
通过半结构化访谈，拉斐尔教授分享了她作为帕金森病患者对口腔健康复杂性的见解，以制定针对帕金森病患者的口腔保健、研究和教育议程。
她强调了跨学科合作和教育的重要性。此外，拉斐尔教授确定了关键的研究领域，如探索口腔微生物群的作用以及评估运动对帕金森病患者口腔健康的影响。
本研究产生了改善口腔保健、研究和教育的议程，倡导采用整体方法来提高帕金森病患者的福祉。尽管本研究存在局限性，但它强调了将口腔健康纳入帕金森病更广泛管理的必要性，强调跨学科合作和患者赋权。
