直到最近才有报道描述了为患有慢性精神疾病的社区成年人提供的专门的大规模牙科计划。为了响应社区精神卫生中心病例管理人员的要求，来自悉尼中部地区卫生服务牙科、精神卫生和交通服务的多学科团队联合起来，开发了一个试点牙科项目。其目的是描绘慢性精神疾病的社区生活客户的牙科需求，并提高客户对内悉尼公共牙科服务的利用率。客户的牙齿问题和访问的审查，连同多学科团队开发的试点计划的描述。记录了参与者最初的牙科需求概况以及参与者利用试点牙科计划的信息。这种多学科方法成功地制定了一项方案，以满足客户的牙科需求，并改善了大多数客户获得公共牙科服务的机会。有一部分客户没有利用该方案，需要对这些客户采取进一步的后续行动。这种多学科的方法可能是有用的，在其他特殊护理牙科计划的发展和资金。
Only recently have reports described specialized large-scale dental programs for community-living adults with chronic mental illness. In response to requests from community mental health center case managers, a multidisciplinary team from Central Sydney Area Health Service dentistry, mental health, and transport services joined together to develop a pilot dental program. The aim was to profile the dental needs of community-living clients with chronic mental illness and to improve clients' utilization of inner Sydney public dental services. A review of clients' dental problems and access is presented, together with a description of the pilot program developed by the multidisciplinary team. A profile of the initial dental needs of the participants, and information on the participants' utilization of the pilot dental program is documented. This multidisciplinary approach was successful in developing a program to profile dental needs of clients, and improved the access to public dental services for the majority of clients. There was a subgroup of clients who did not utilize the program, and further follow-up of these clients is needed. This multidisciplinary approach could be useful in the development and funding of other special care dental programs.
