Dental Hygiene Students' Preparation for Treatment of Patients with Mental Illnesses.
Lemon, Sherry; Reveal, Marge
Journal of Dental Education, v55 n11 p724-28 Nov 1991

Although most curricula addressed the issue, inadequate time was allotted. Over half did not provide oral care to these patients; few felt the community's need was met. (MSE)
