In dit artikel wordt een onderzoek gerapporteerd over de subjectieve mondgezondheid van mensen met de ziekte van Parkinson, gerelateerd aan de duur en de progressie van de ziekte. Participanten waren 74 personen met de ziekte van Parkinson en 74 controlepersonen. Allen werden geïnterviewd over onderwijsniveau, rookgewoonten, laatste tandartsbezoek, aantal tandartsbezoeken in de laatste 5 jaar, dagelijkse mondverzorging, type gebruikte tandenborstel, kauwproblemen, afbijtproblemen, smaakverlies, mondbranden, xerostomie, halitose, achterblijvende voedselresten, pijnlijke en bloedende gingiva en mobiliteit, pijn en sensitiviteit van gebitselementen. Meer mensen met de ziekte dan controlepersonen kregen ondersteuning bij de dagelijkse mondverzorging en hadden kauwproblemen, afbijtproblemen, smaakverlies, mobiliteit van gebitselementen en xerostomie. Bij de mensen met de ziekte was de prevalentie van kauwproblemen gerelateerd aan zowel de duur als de progressie van de ziekte. Bovendien bleek een verband te bestaan tussen enerzijds de progressie van de ziekte en anderzijds afbijtproblemen en het krijgen van ondersteuning bij de dagelijkse mondverzorging.
The subjective oral health of Parkinson’s disease patients
This article comprises a report on a research project on the subjective oral health of Parkinson’s disease patients, related to the duration and the progression of the disease. Participants were 74 patients with Parkinson’s disease and a 74-person control group. All participants were interviewed about educational level, smoking habits, length of time since the last oral health consultation, number of oral health consultations during the previous 5 years, daily oral care, type of toothbrush used, chewing problems, biting problems, loss of taste, burning mouth, xerostomia, halitosis, remaining food particles, painful and bleeding gums, tooth mobility, toothache and tooth sensitivity. More patients with Parkinson’s disease than people in the control group reported daily oral care support and had chewing problems, biting problems, loss of taste, tooth mobility and xerostomia. Among the patients with Parkinson’s disease, the prevalence of chewing problems was related to the duration as well as the progression of the disease. Furthermore, a relation was demonstrated between the progression of the disease on the one hand and biting problems and daily oral care support on the other.
