Introduction: The study aims to determine if a battery-operated toothbrush will result in a greater improvement in oral health as compared to a manual toothbrush and if the provision of oral home care instructions will lead to an improvement in oral healthBackground: Populations with a diagnosis of serious mental illness (SMI) have a greater incidence of poorer oral health as compared the general population.Participants and Methods: A total of 87 participants from outpatient mental wellness center in N.J. completed the study. Pre-test and post-test gingival and plaque indices were collected on all participants. Two groups received a battery toothbrush and two groups received a manual toothbrush. One of each of these received oral home care instructions. Additional data collected included smoking and a survey to assess level of negative symptoms.Results: The study found that the battery operated toothbrush resulted in a significant improvement in the mean change in gingival index: F(1,86) = 4.52, p < .05, η2 = .05. The study also found that oral home care instructions, smoking and level of negative symptoms did not have an effect on the mean change in plaque or gingival indices.Discussion: Collaboration between the oral health care provider and the mental health care provider is important in improving the oral health of the patient with a diagnosis of SMI. The implementation of a simple, cost effective measure such as a battery operated toothbrush can result in an improvement in oral health in this population.
