Self‐assessment of oral health, dental health care and oral health‐related quality of life among Parkinson's disease patients

Abstract

In this study, patients with PD suffered from OH-related symptoms (xerostomia, drooling, and dysphagia) that impaired their OH-related QoL. Participants felt that they received adequate dental health care; however, dental advice regarding management of PD-related OH problems was often lacking.
