Chiba FY, Sumida DH, Moimaz SAS, et al. - In patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa, researchers examined the periodontal condition, changes in salivary biochemical parameters, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Study participants included 60 women patients who attended a Brazilian medical school. Patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa (ABN; n = 30) and control patients (CN; n = 30) were the two groups assessed. In the ABN group, periodontal condition was much worse vs the CN group. In the ABN group, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 score was greater than in the CN group. Findings suggested poor periodontal condition, elevated salivary concentrations of total protein, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, decreased salivary flow rate, and a significant adverse OHRQoL impact were all linked to anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
