Summary

The assessment of oral health, jaw health and related problems in bipolar patients is important to provide a holistic approach to patients in terms of physical, mental and psychosocial aspects and to improve quality of life. In this study, oral health, temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) were investigated in patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD).

Detailed description

During the remission period, 70 individuals aged 20-60 years with BD were divided into two groups according to the duration of diagnosis as under ten years (Group 1=33) and over ten years (Group 2=37). Oral and dental health-related quality of life was assessed with the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), TMJ pain was assessed with the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), the presence of TMJ discomfort was assessed with the Fonseca Anamnestic Questionnaire (FAQ), chewing functionality was assessed with the Jaw Function Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), and oropharyngeal dysphagia was assessed with the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10).
