A Review of dental health issues in Parkinson`s disease patients
Abstract:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Its prevalence is expected to double in the next 20 years due to the increase in life expectancy. The disease symptoms negatively impact patients’ oral and dental health.
Dental specialists must be aware of PD clinical manifestations and meet effectively the challenges for office management and homecare.
