ABSTRACT:
Individuals with mental disorders are more susceptible to oral diseases, yet dental care is frequently neglected. This study aimed to review the literature on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the dental care of patients with mental disorders (MD). Searches were conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using terms such as “Mental Disorders,” “Dementia,” “Schizophrenia,” “Alzheimer Disease,” “Neurocognitive Disorders,” “Patient Care Team,” “Dentist’s Role,” “Oral Health,” and “Dentists.” Initially, 320 articles were identified, of which 16 met the inclusion criteria: full-text articles in Portuguese or English, published within the last ten years, and relevant to the topic. Exclusion criteria included duplicate articles, case reports, letters to the editor, studies outside the established period, or those with unavailable full text. The results highlighted structural and interpersonal barriers in the dental care of patients with mental disorders, emphasizing the scarcity of specialized services and trained multidisciplinary teams. Considering the interrelationship between oral and mental health, neglect of dental care can adversely affect the overall well-being of these individuals. It is concluded that the integration of dentists into multidisciplinary teams is essential to identify specific oral health needs and ensure access to appropriate dental care.
