Yang M, et al. - Existing data on the oral health survey of schizophrenia patients was systematically evaluated through meta-analysis. The schizophrenia patients and the general population was compared regarding oral health results concerning the following measures: the mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT). The meta-analysis included 8 studies comprising 2,640 patients with schizophrenia and 19,698 healthy controls. Findings suggest that compared to the general population, patients with schizophrenia have worse oral health but have received less dental care services. Hence, researchers recommend considering the oral health services in the patients with schizophrenia.
