94 Chapter 4 Table 3. Summary of results of oral health interventions in mental health. (continued) First Author, Year Publication Intervention Group (N) Control Group (N) Intervention Comparator Results Effect +/- Mori et al. [50] N = 10 No control group Six sextant evaluation for PMTC. Six teeth were stained with Red Coat and DI. PMTC procedure was strictly according Axelsson’s method. No comparator. Probing depth was significantly decreased at PMTC VI (p < 0.05). A reduction of the total number of bleeding sites on probing was significantly different (p < 0.05). + Silverstein et al. [53] N = 67 No control group Educational programme (Smiles Matter). Weekly presentations: general oral health education, aesthetics, effects of eating disorders, oral pain, nutrition for oral health. No comparator. Patients who reported regular visits to the dentist were significantly more likely to respond that teeth had a positive effect on how they looked to themselves (p = 0.03), looking to others (p = 0.03), kissing (p = 0.04), their general health (p = 0.01), romantic relationships (p = 0.04) and general happiness (p < 0.001). + + Singhal et al. [49] N = 41 N = 47 Group A: oral hygiene education and a battery-operated Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant Spin Brush. Group C: oral hygiene education as well as the Sun Star Gum ultrasoft manual toothbrush. C. Participants in group A and C received oral hygiene instructions and included video demonstrations. Observation were made while performing oral hygiene with their toothbrushes sitting in the dental chair. Dental plaque index and individual modifications were made. Group B only received the same battery-operated toothbrush as group A. Group D received the same manual toothbrush as Group B. Next, participants received and were instructed to use Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste. A calendar and stickers were provided. A statistically significant effect is found on the type of toothbrush participants used (p < 0.05). Interaction of home care instructions and type of toothbrush were not found. A significant effect is found on gingival index associated with the mechanical toothbrush (p < 0.05). No statistically significant changes were found in plaque index based on type of toothbrush. The mean change in plaque and gingival index were not significantly different based on the provision of oral home care instructions. + - + - -
