Background/purposeWhen Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses, oral and swallowing functions decline, and special care is necessary when performing dental treatments. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the records of patients with PD and analyze dental and general problems to establish countermeasures during dental treatments.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively examined the medical records of patients with PD to obtain data on dental treatments and management methods.ResultsOf the 27 patients, 40% had severe grade IV or higher Hoehn-Yale (HY) scores, and the wearing-off phenomenon was observed in those with grade III or higher. Additionally, 19% of the patients were receiving levodopa 500 mg/day or more. Intravenous sedation was administered 21 times (three patients) and general anesthesia eight times (three patients). Discontinuation of tooth extraction was observed in four patients: two with difficulty in opening the mouth, one with respiratory failure caused by the wearing-off phenomenon, and one with excessively elevated blood pressure due to the interaction between adrenaline in local anesthesia and the catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor. Tooth extraction was performed by adjusting the time of levodopa administration in two patients, under general anesthesia in one patient, and using adrenaline-free local anesthetics under intravenous sedation in one patient.ConclusionWhen PD progresses, oral and swallowing functions decline and body motor function deteriorates. Thus, the respiratory and circulatory conditions and the wearing-off phenomenon during dental treatments should be properly managed in patients with severe PD.
