本研究确定了在荷兰精神病医院的牙科保健组织的方法，调查病人的牙齿问题，并检查医院护士的作用，在预防和诊断的牙齿问题。口腔条件差，口腔卫生差，假牙不合适是最常见的问题。如果病人忽略了刷牙，70%的受访护士从来没有接管过，20%的人有时会接管，8%的人总是这样。得出的结论是，虽然大多数精神病医院都有自己的牙科诊所或替代牙科设施，但尚未在所有地方实现充分的牙科保健。护理人员在预防和诊断牙病方面的作用可以进一步加强。
This study determined the method of organization of dental care in psychiatric hospitals in the Netherlands, investigated patients' dental problems, and examined hospital nurses' role in prevention and diagnosis of dental problems. A bad oral condition, bad oral hygiene, and badly fitting dentures were the problems most frequently noticed. If the patients neglected brushing their teeth, 70% of the nurses interviewed never took over, 20% sometimes did, and 8% always did. It was concluded that, although most psychiatric hospitals had their own dental clinic or alternative dental facilities, adequate dental care had not yet been realized everywhere. The role of the nursing staff in preventing and diagnosing dental disease can further be strengthened.
