Dentistry and Parkinson's disease: learnings from two case reports.
British Dental Journal 2019 July
Parkinson's disease is one of the most common conditions affecting the older generation. It is a progressive neurological condition presenting with motor, non-motor and behavioural symptoms that may impact upon oral health. Protecting and maintaining oral health for these individuals is paramount to their comfort, function and quality of life. To do so requires an individualised care plan considering the current stage and progression of their condition, access to care, ability to safely tolerate treatment and oral prostheses, their supporting network, and their own wishes. This paper reviews the current literature on Parkinson's disease and discusses two case reports of patients at differing stages of the condition. It emphasises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, reasonable adjustments and the use of various techniques and skills within a dentist's armamentarium.
