“…23,24 A previous study conducted at Taif Mental Health Hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investigated the association between dental caries and obesity among psychiatric patients. 25 An important finding of this study was that a high proportion of admitted psychiatric patients (88.7%) had inadequate oral hygiene measures applied during their stay in the hospital. These results support the need for establishing high-quality oral health measures and recruiting well-trained nurses and medical care professionals with knowledge of oral health care.…”

Background and Aim: Nurses are the principal oral healthcare providers for hospitalized patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses at a mental health hospital in Saudi Arabia regarding oral health care of the hospitalized patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used in which 247 nursing staff completed a questionnaire that collected sociodemographic information, knowledge, and practices regarding oral health maintenance of patients and their attitudes toward oral health care of psychiatric patients. The chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used to examine group differences. Results: A total of 247 (136 males and 111 females) nursing staff were involved in the survey with the mean age of 26 ± 32 years. Results showed significant gender differences in knowledge and practices, but no gender differences in attitudes. Male nurses were more likely to look at teeth and gums for signs of a healthy mouth (male = 97.8%, female = 95.5%, P = .04), used toothpaste to clean the patient’s teeth (male = 52.9%, female = 50.5%, P = .03), and believed that HIV/AIDS patients are at risk of developing oral health problems (male = 50.7%, female = 43.2%, P = .04). Nurses had more knowledge than nurse technicians regarding gum disease and dental abscesses ( P = .0001). Nursing staff with over five years of experience were more likely to agree about the need for the oral health care of hospitalized patients. Conclusion: The results emphasize the need for training of healthcare workers about the importance of oral health and considering oral health care as a patient’s rights rather than privilege.

“…This situation has been highlighted for people receiving psychiatric care in the community (out‐patients) 7,8 as well as, and even more so, for people hospitalized in psychiatric facilities (psychiatric inpatients) 9‐18 . Dedicated dental clinics inside psychiatric hospitals might be considered as a useful tool to enhance access for psychiatric inpatients, and some authors have called for such services 19 .…”

Objectives Psychiatric inpatients suffer from poorer oral health than the general population, and difficulties in accessing necessary dental treatment remain even when a dedicated dental service is available within the psychiatric hospital. The aim of this study was to identify barriers to access dental care from the point of view of dentists working within French psychiatric hospitals. Methods The relatively small number of dentists working in psychiatric hospitals necessitated a qualitative approach. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted, recorded, transcribed and coded in a conventional content analysis approach. Results Eight interviews were conducted. Six of the dentists interviewed were men, and two were women. Three of them worked full‐time in a psychiatric facility, while the other five worked partly in the hospital and partly in private practice. The average duration for interviews was 54 minutes (minimum 24 min, maximum 89 min). The interviews highlighted three dimensions of barriers to access to dental care. The first dimension was directly related to the patient. This may be linked to the patient's psychiatric disorder but not necessarily. This also encompasses refusal of care. A second dimension regrouped events related to the organization of the hospital (locally), such as communication issues between staff members within the dental office, and with other staff members from the psychiatric ward. A third dimension included difficulties related to the overall organization of the healthcare system, including financial issues and deinstitutionalization. Conclusions In‐site dental consultations appear as an interesting tool to enhance access to oral care for psychiatric inpatients. However, difficulties remain from the dentists' perspective.

Günümüzde sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının artmasına ve fiziksel aktivitelerin yaygınlaşmasına rağmen yeme alışkanlıklarındaki değişimler sonucu ortaya çıkan obezitede, global olarak önemli ölçüde bir artış gözlenmektedir. Ağız diş sağlığının genel sağlığın ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğu düşünüldüğünde, vücutta pek çok organda kronik iltihap meydana getiren obezitenin diş sert dokularını da etkilemesi kaçınılmazdır. Çalışmalarda obezite ile diş çürüğü arasındaki ilişki araştırılmış, ancak metodolojilerdeki farklılıklardan doğan çelişkili sonuçlar nedeniyle kesin bir ilişkiden bahsedilememiştir. Ortak etiyolojik faktör olarak bildirilen karbonhidrattan zengin beslenmenin gerek obeziteyi gerekse diş çürüğü gelişimini arttırdığı düşünülse de sosyo-ekonomik durum, ülke ekonomisi, televizyon izleme alışkanlığı gibi dispozisyonel etkenlerle birlikte multifaktöriyel bir etkileşim oluştuğu belirtilmektedir. Son yıllarda dental erozyon prevalansında görülen artışa bağlı olarak, özel bir hasta grubunu oluşturan obez bireylerde dental erozyonun incelendiği çalışmalar yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Bireylerin sadece sistemik sağlığını değil, aynı zamanda diş sert dokularını da etkileyen obezitenin literatür desteğiyle incelenmesini amaçlayan bu derlemede, özellikle obez bireylerden oluşan hasta gruplarında tıp ve diş hekimlerinin birlikte çalışmalarının gerekliliği belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ağız sağlığı; beden kitle indeksi; diş çürükleri; diş erozyonu; obezite. Evaluation of the Relation between Obesity and Dental Caries and Erosion ABSTRACT Nowadays, in spite of the popularity among healthy dietary habits and sports activities, the prevalence of obesity, which is an eating disorder, has increased. As oral health is an inseparable part of systemic health, it is inevitable that obesity, which causes chronic inflammation in many organs, would not affect oral health. In studies investigating both obesity and dental caries, a definite relationship has not mentioned due to the contradictory results arising from the differences in the methodologies. Although the carbohydrate-rich diet, as a common etiological factor, is thought to increase the prevalence of both obesity and dental caries, it is stated that they had a multifactorial interaction with the dispositional factors such as socioeconomic status, the national economy and television watching habits. In recent years, due to the increase in the prevalence of dental erosion, studies have started to examine obese individuals in terms of dental erosion. In this review, obesity was aimed to be investigated with the support of literature. Besides, it has revealed the necessity of physicians and dentists working together especially in the groups of obese individuals.
