Brief Summary:
The assessment of oral health, jaw health and related problems in bipolar patients is important to provide a holistic approach to patients in terms of physical, mental and psychosocial aspects and to improve quality of life. In this study, oral health, temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) were investigated in patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD).

Condition or disease
Bipolar Disorders Oral Health

Detailed Description:
During the remission period, 70 individuals aged 20-60 years with BD were divided into two groups according to the duration of diagnosis as under ten years (Group 1=33) and over ten years (Group 2=37). Oral and dental health-related quality of life was assessed with the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), TMJ pain was assessed with the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), the presence of TMJ discomfort was assessed with the Fonseca Anamnestic Questionnaire (FAQ), chewing functionality was assessed with the Jaw Function Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), and oropharyngeal dysphagia was assessed with the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10).

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) [ Time Frame: February 2023- July 2023 ]
    This scale, which has been shown to be valid and reliable in measuring oral and dental health-related quality of life, consists of 14 questions in 7 dimensions. Each question is scored from 0 (never) to 4 (always). The scale ranges from 0 to 56, with high scores indicating poor quality of life.

  2. Numerical Pain Scale (NPS) [ Time Frame: February 2023- July 2023 ]
    This simple, valid and reliable method, often used to measure pain intensity in the clinic, asks the participant to mark a number on a 10 cm scale with numbers ranging from '0' (no pain) to '10' (unbearable pain) for the pain felt in the TMJ region

  3. Fonseca Anamnestic Questionnaire (FAQ) [ Time Frame: February 2023- July 2023 ]
    This scale, which has been shown to be valid and reliable as a TMD assessment tool, consists of 10 questions. A score of 25 or more on the scale indicates the presence of TMD.

  4. Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8) [ Time Frame: February 2023- July 2023 ]
    This scale, which has demonstrated validity and reliability, provides an assessment of chewing functionality during various activities of the jaw and consists of 8 questions. On this scale, which ranges from 0-80, a high score indicates limited chewing functionality.

  5. Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) [ Time Frame: February 2023- July 2023 ]
    This scale, which assesses the symptoms and severity of oropharyngeal swallowing disorder and has been shown to be valid and reliable, consists of 10 questions. A total score of 3 and above on the scale, indicates the presence of a swallowing problem.
