Obsessive compulsive disorder: a case report.
A general dentist often will find the most challenging aspect of dentistry is patient management. In the controlled environment of a dental school, many students are not exposed to certain patient populations. It is likely that their first experience with particular patient pools will be in private practice. One such group of patients is those suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This article reviews the clinical signs and symptoms of this group of patients.
