Dental Intervention on the Quality of Life of Metabolic Syndrome Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
: Integrated dental and lifestyle interventions significantly improved OHRQoL in MetS patients by enhancing psychosocial well-being and social reintegration. Gains were functionally driven by systemic metabolic success. Addressing "nutritional barriers" through dental rehabilitation, while targeting weight loss goals, was essential for holistic MetS management.
