Evaluating the DMFT and dmft indices in people with epilepsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This study highlights the concerning disparity in oral health among individuals with epilepsy, particularly regarding permanent teeth. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted dental care interventions and preventive strategies tailored to meet the unique needs of this population. By improving awareness and access to dental care, healthcare providers can enhance the overall quality of life for individuals living with epilepsy. Further research is warranted to explore effective interventions that can mitigate dental health risks in this vulnerable group.
