Abstract
Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders of particular importance to dentistry are discussed in this chapter. The neurodevelopmental disorders covered here include: intellectual disability (ID), Down syndrome (DS), Cerebral palsy (CP), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The chapter explains the medical management and dental management of these disorders. The risks of dental care are also covered here. The psychiatric disorders discussed in the chapter include: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Bipolar disorder (BPD), Major depressive disorder (MDD), Schizophrenia and Eating disorder (ED). Diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is based on patient interview and a mental status evaluation. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is often an effective treatment for OCD. Medications used to treat psychiatric disorders often have oral side effects, such as xerostomia, dysgeusia, stomatitis, glossitis, and even sialorrhea. Atypical antipsychotics can also cause orthostatic hypotension.
