[Dental status in patients with eating disorders].
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are serious eating disorders on the mental background that affect a significant number of young people. They lead to many complications including the ones within the oral cavity. The most frequent effects concerning tooth hard tissue are dental erosions. Erosions are characterized by the irreversible process of demineralization of the external layers of tissues of the tooth. This paper reviews literature to assess the oral status and dental complications in patients with eating disorders.
