“…Nevertheless, they did not express concerns about their weight or appearance [ 22 ]. Despite the tendency for psychological issues to remain hidden during adolescence, these individuals maintained consistent eating patterns and gradually gained weight until undergoing orthodontic treatment [ 23 ]. However, as the orthodontic treatment progressed [ 24 ], they developed unusual eating habits that persisted long after the dental discomfort subsided.…”

Orthodontic treatment during adolescence can contribute to the development of problematic eating disorders. This case study presents the situation of a 12-year-old male patient who experienced a prolonged period of dietary limitation, showed signs of chronic illness, and underwent a significant weight loss because of wearing dental braces. These circumstances triggered the emergence of atypical eating behaviors and complicated the therapeutic process. A case report highlights the effectiveness of conducting psychological evaluations for patients with braces who experience significant weight loss to address possible eating disorders. It also addressed the effectiveness of psychoeducation supportive therapy and nutritional rehabilitation for establishing regular eating patterns during orthodontic treatment. This case also illustrates the significant role of parents in offering emotional support and enhancing professional care. However, conducting extensive longitudinal studies is imperative to fully explore the relationship between orthodontic treatment and eating disorders.

“…Although girls are seen at a higher rate among child and adolescent inpatients according to studies conducted in recent years, gender ratio were found to be close to each other in some of them (8,9). It was thought that the high prevalence of diagnoses such as major depressive disorder and eating disorder in our inpatient unit, which are frequently seen in girls, could explain the girl predominance (10,11).…”

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients hospitalized in Ankara City Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient Unit during the pandemic period. Material and Methods: Medical records of children and adolescents who were hospitalized in Ankara City Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatient Unit between March 2021 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were evaluated in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, clinical diagnosis and treatment, duration of hospitalization, and Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) scores at admission and discharge. Results: In our study, the mean age of 132 cases (86 girls, 46 boys) was found 15.1±1.8 years. The main diagnoses of the subjects were 30.3% (n=40) major depressive disorder, 25% (n=33) psychotic disorder, 14.4% (n=19) eating disorders, and the remaining 30.3% (n=40) were other disorders. Comorbidity was found in 63.6% (n=84) of the cases. The presence of eating disorders, comorbidity and antidepressant use were found significantly higher in females. There was a significant differences in major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), psychotic disorder, eating disorder, conduct disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) between admission and discharge CGI-Severity (CGI-S) scores. In addition, there was a significant difference between admission and discharge CGI side effects scores only for BD. Conclusion: In our study, major depressive disorder, psychotic disorder, and eating disorder were the most common diagnoses of cases hospitalized in inpatient unit. There was a comorbidity accompanying two out of every three cases. There are few child and adolescent psychiatry services in our country, and studies on this subject are scarce. It is thought that our study will contribute to the literature on child and adolescent psychiatry inpatient units.

“…A diferença determinante entre esses dois transtornos é referente ao peso corporal do indivíduo, pois pacientes com BN geralmente têm peso dentro da faixa ideal para sua altura ou acima, enquanto anoréxicos apresentam magreza extrema (Ranalli;Studen-Pavlovich, 2021). No entanto, ambos compartilham, como um dos primeiros sinais físicos, impactos na saúde bucal (Johansson et al, 2020).…”

Introdução: Os transtornos alimentares (TA) são distúrbios de ordem comportamental resultados de atitudes perturbadas em relação ao peso. Esses distúrbios frequentemente se manifestam por meio de sinais orais, tornando os cirurgiões-dentistas os primeiros profissionais da saúde a ter contato com esses indicadores físicos. A avaliação adequada e o conhecimento sobre as manifestações bucais dos TA possibilitam a detecção precoce e o encaminhamento para tratamento adequado. Objetivo: Avaliar grau de conhecimento dos cirurgiões-dentistas sobre manifestações orais dos transtornos alimentares. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, quantitativo e estatístico, com aplicação de questionário. Resultados: A maioria dos profissionais identifica os distúrbios por meio da manifestação de perimólise. A abordagem multidisciplinar é apontada como comum a estes profissionais após a detecção dos distúrbios. Conclusão: Os entrevistados afirmam uma abordagem insuficiente sobre TA na formação acadêmica, mas demonstram proficiência no manejo desses casos na prática clínica. O conhecimento dos dentistas sobre as manifestações bucais desses distúrbios é deficiente.
