“…smooth erosion of enamel and dentin), typically on the lingual surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth, and the duration and frequency of the behavior will determine the degree of perimylosis (9). Also, enlargement of the parotid glands (occasionally sublingual glands) has been estimated to occur in 10–50% of patients who ‘binge and purge’ (36). Therefore, a diminished salivary flow rate may also be present, which will increase oral mucous membrane sensitivity, gingival erythema and caries susceptibility.…”

Hormonal changes throughout the life cycle of women affect the therapeutic decision-making process of dentists. Recent research has provided an appreciation of how unique endocrine influences can affect oral, periodontal and peri-implant tissues. As endocrine status may modify periodontal and oral tissue responses to treatment, it is imperative that clinicians recognize, customize and appropriately alter periodontal therapy according to the specific hormonal stage of women.

“…The trauma can be autonomic stimulation of the glands by activation of the taste buds are the mechanisms proposed for this salivary gland swelling. 43 The oral manifestations of eating disorders have been presented. Dental clinicians need to recognize the dental features of eating disorders; failure to do so may lead to serious systemic problems in addition to progressive and irreversible damage to the hard tissues of the oral cavity.…”

The aim of this article is to present a review of the literature on eating disorders and related oral implications in order to provide oral healthcare professionals and psychiatrists with information that will enable them to recognize and diagnose these disorders and render appropriate treatment. Methods and Materials: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted with special emphasis on the oral implications of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Results: Currently, available knowledge that correlates eating disorders with dental implications is supported by data derived from well-conducted psychiatric and psychological literature. However, little is known about the aspects of oral medicine concerned with the subject. Dental erosion, xerostomia, enlargement of the parotid gland, and other dental implications might be present in individuals with eating disorders. Conclusions: Eating disorders are a serious concern with regard to the oral health of patients. They represent a clinical challenge to dental professionals because of their unique psychological, medical, nutritional, and dental patterns as well as their unique characteristics. However, there is a general lack of awareness of the fundamental importance of the dentist's role in the multidisciplinary treatment of affected patients.

Eating disorders and oral health: A review of the literature

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article is a review of the recent literature pertaining to the oral sequelae of eating disorders (EDs). Dentists are recognized as being some of the first health care professionals to whom a previously undiagnosed eating disorder patient (EDP) may present. However, despite the prevalence (up to 4 per cent) of such conditions in teenage girls and young adult females, there is relatively little published in the recent literature regarding the oral sequelae of EDs. This compares unfavourably with the attention given recently in the dental literature to conditions such as diabetes mellitus, which have a similar prevalence in the adult population. The incidence of EDs is increasing and it would be expected that dentists who treat patients in the affected age groups would encounter more individuals exhibiting EDs. Most of the reports in the literature concentrate on the obvious clinical features of dental destruction (perimolysis), parotid swelling and biochemical abnormalities particularly related to salivary and pancreatic amylase. However, there is no consistency in explanation of the oral phenomena and epiphenomena seen in EDs. Many EDPs are nutritionally challenged; there is a relative lack of information pertaining to non-dental, oral lesions associated with nutritional deficiencies.
