Schizophrenia is a complex mental condition characterized by the deterioration of thought processes and inappropriate emotional responses. Compared to the general population, individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia have an increased risk of developing various dental diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, oral mucosal diseases, and conditions associated with oral resonance. In this context, we propose to establish links between schizophrenia and dental illness, emphasizing the importance of oxidative stress (OS) markers in schizophrenia, and also the role of dental treatments, particularly dental implants. This highlights the urgent need for an intervention program to improve oral health in patients with schizophrenia, including aspects such as prevention and prosthetic treatment. Dental implants can be a favorable option, offering good aesthetic and functional results for treated patients with schizophrenia. Additionally, a carefully developed surgical plan is essential, requiring collaboration between psychiatry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, anesthesiology, and prosthodontics departments.
