Abstract
Objective: The aim of this review is to examine the relationship between oral health and mental health disorders lawfully regarded as disabilities in South Korea: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Background: Mental health and oral health are two of the most prevalent factors that affect health-related quality of life. People with mental health disorders are prone to poor oral health, but research on the relationship between mental health and oral health is lacking.
Discussion: Individuals with mental health disorders tended to show exacerbated oral health conditions overall, and there seems to be a connection between the type of mental health disorder and the corresponding oral health outcomes. However, the cause and degree of the relationships could not be clearly established, due to the small quantity of studies conducted on the oral health status of individuals with specific mental health disorders, as well as the methodological inconsistencies among studies.
Conclusion: Future research should establish a consistent standard of methodology for studying the oral health of individuals with mental health disorders.
