Description:

Eating disorders represent a complex spectrum of chronic illnesses, with medical and psychologic complications that lead to the second highest mortality of all psychiatric disorders. It is a problem that is an epidemic on college campuses. Members of the dental team play an integral role in helping to identify those patients with undiagnosed eating disorders. In fact, because of orofacial manifestations, they may be the first health care providers to encounter such patients and will be instrumental in making appropriate referrals for further diagnostic work-up and treatment. This lecture will address the psychologic, medical, dental and oral health issues associated with these disorders as well as dental management considerations. Discussion will lend itself to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on eating disordered individuals.

• recognize the psychologic and medical issues associated with eating disorders.
• identify oro-facial manifestations associated with eating disorders.
• address and manage the dental issues associated with eating disorders.
