title: [Oral complications of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and other metabolic disorders].
abstract: Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and boulimia nervosa may have consequences for both the oral tissues and the salivary glands. In the oral cavity these eating disorders result frequently in dental erosion, but also in dental caries. The salivary glands are regularly swollen without pain; a hypofunction in the salivary secretory process may develop resulting in dry mouth feelings. In this paper these aspects will be reviewed and illustrated with patient cases.
