Dental health among institutionalized psychiatric patients in Spain
Abstract
This study assessed the dental health of an institutionalized psychiatric population in Spain. The study population was composed of 347 males and 2A8 females with a mean age of 58.0. The mean length of hospitalization was 26.1 years. The largest proportion of the patients (62%) was diagnosed as having schizophrenia. All subjects were taking psychotropic drugs, with a mean number of 2.1 medications. The sample was examined according to the WHO dental criteria. The DMFT index demonstrated the mean number of carious teeth to be 7.9; missing teeth, 17.0; and filled teeth, 0.0. The DMFT index increased significantly with the patient's age and length of hospitalization. Female and demented patients had significantly higher DMFT scores. These findings suggest that institutionalized patients with mental illness in Spain have extensive untreated dental disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
