Oral Health Profile of Chronic Mentally Ill Patients in Moradabad City: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Introduction: Good oral health is an important feature of good general health depression or chronic mental illness causes different types of oral problem such as xerostomia, acidic salivary pH, tooth decay, or periodontal disease. There is no study carried out in the Department of Psychiatry, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical Hospital, Moradabad, which show oral health status of depression or chronic mentally ill patient.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the out patient Department of Psychiatry, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical Hospital Moradabad with total number of 250 patients.Type III method of examination was used. oral examination was done by the help of WHO oral health assessment form for adult 2013. Salivary PH was calculated by the help of universal PH indicator solvent.
Results: Mean score of decayed, missing, and filled tooth (DMFT) was 3.75 and the SD of DMFT is 1.75. Mean of salivary pH is 4.89 and the standard deviation (SD) is 0.81. Mean of periodontal pocket is 1.14 and the SD of periodontal pocket is 0.81. Mean distribution of pH in relation to periodontal pocket was 4.86 and the SD of 0.79 pH in relation to periodontal pocket was 0.79. By using ANOVA P value in relation to salivary pH and periodontal pocket was 0.23 which is less than 0.5 (i.e. significant) .
Conclusion: The adverse effect of antidepressants leads to xerostomia and salivary pH of psychiatry patient is more acidic so psychiatry patients are more periodontally compromise.
