Psychiatric disorders in a dental clinic.
This paper describes the psychiatric disorders seen in 138 consecutive attenders at a psychiatric clinic in a dental hospital. The disorders were rated using a standardised interview, and assigned a diagnosis in accordance with a multiaxial classification known as the DSM-III. The rate of psychiatric disorder seen in these patients was over 90% and the implications of this are discussed.
