Abstract

|
Patients of mental disorder have more missing teeth than general population because of the difficulty of oral hygiene management. In addition, especially Down syndrome patients etc., congenital dental problems develop more frequently. Therefore, prosthetic rehabilitation treatments for missing teeth in mental disorder patients are required more urgently. In other words, a removable partial denture may be very difficult for such patients to wear and manage. So in this review article we reviewed implant therapeutic modes for mental disorder patients based on previous reports. It should be understood that implant treatments are not impossible for mental disorder patients, and if implants could be a good method that could provide them good quality care, so implant should be included in treatment plans before surgery. Before surgery it should be evaluated that patients ability to manage themselves their ability to manage themselves should be evaluated and also should be evaluated whether general anesthesia or sedative treatment is required for the treatment, and whether their cooperation is good enough.
