    Study Notes

    Mental Health Disorders (MHD) in Dentistry

    • Mental health disorders (MHD) are prevalent and can impact various aspects of a patient's life, including oral health.
    • Many MHDs, such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression, often co-occur with other health conditions, like cancer.

    Types of Mental Health Disorders

    • Anxiety: A natural response to worry or fear, potentially impacting a patient's life and daily activities. Treated with SSRIs, pregabalin, beta-blockers, or benzodiazepines.
    • Depression: Characterized by sadness, loss of interest, tiredness, concentration problems, and sleep disturbances. Treated with antidepressants such as SSRIs.
    • Bipolar Disorder: Alternating periods of mania (racing thoughts, elevated mood) and depression.
    • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Triggered by a traumatic event, involving flashbacks, anxiety, avoidance, and hyperarousal. Treated with paroxetine, mirtazapine, amitriptyline, or phenelzine.
    • Schizophrenia: Severe mental disorder, affecting thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behaviors (hallucinations and delusions). Treated with anti-psychotics like lithium or risperidone.
    • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. Treated with SSRIs.
    • Eating Disorders: Include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and others impacting oral health and requiring special care.
    • Autism Spectrum Disorder: Communication difficulties, literal interpretations, and other symptoms can sometimes co-occur with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or OCD.

    Oral Manifestations of MHD

    • OCD: Compulsive behaviors may interfere with oral hygiene routines.
    • Eating Disorders (anorexia/bulimia): Tooth erosion due to acid exposure (vomiting) and potentially osteoporosis.
    • Medications (side effects): Can lead to dry mouth (xerostomia), altered taste, and oral complications like tooth wear.
    • Specific Cases: Vomiting (bulimia) or self-neglect, both can lead to oral health issues.

    Impact on Dental Care and Management

    • Building Rapport: Create a non-judgemental environment, offering empathy and support. Consider cultural differences.
    • Assessment: Evaluate health history, including substance use (smoking/alcohol).
    • Considerations: Document and consider potential concerns including oral trauma (e.g., from purging), tooth wear, caries due to dry mouth, self-neglect.
    • Patient-specific Needs: Assess each individual case to understand possible issues impacting care, i.e PTSD, ASD and other challenges.
    • Communication: Ensure clear, considerate communication, taking into account barriers such as avoidance behaviors or difficulties focusing.
    • Accessibility: Adjust appointments to accommodate individual needs (e.g., flexible times or quiet spaces for patients with ASD), including accommodating for medications side effects
