Abstract

Bulimia nervosa and anorexia are among the most common chronic, psychosocial pathological eating disorders. Fear of obesity is the main element in both diseases. Restricted food intake associated with extreme weight loss is characteristic of anorexia. Bulimia nervosa is characterized by repeated episodes of uncontrolled and unrestricted eating followed by starvation, self-induced vomiting, or intake of laxatives. Eating disorders have severe consequences for the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal system, the skeletal system, and reproductive health. In addition to having the potential to impair physical and psychoemotional health, these diseases also affect the oral cavity. Eating disorders are serious and potentially dangerous conditions leading to a number of disturbances in the body, some of which are reversible, but those that affect the hard dental tissues do not undergo reverse development.
