PARKINSON’S DISEASE IN DENTISTRY AND PERIODONTOLOGY
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive
neurological condition which is characterised by motor (movement) and non-motor
symptoms. The disorder is
characterized by hypokinesia, tremor, muscular rigidity, and a shuffling gait.
Oral hygiene procedures may be adversely affected by tremor, disturbance of
motor skills and depression which are seen with these patients. It is also
known that the medicines used in the treatment of the disease have various side
effects that affect the oral area. It has been demonstrated in previous studies
that the oral and dental health status of Parkinson's patients is worse than
healthy individuals, and they have a larger number and more deep periodontal
pockets. The purpose of this review is to compare the relationship between
Parkinson's disease with dental and periodontal health and to compile
up-to-date information by scanning the literature to better understand the
possible mechanism.
