“…The articles suggest that dentists could receive additional training, which may begin at the undergraduate level, in order to enable them to monit chronic medical conditions. One of the articles discussed the practicalities of offering such a service to patients and suggested ways in which this service could be presented to patients 37 . A cross-sectional survey of patients carried out in the UK in 2012 was designed to establish whether people visit their dentist more regularly than the GP.…”

“…São síndromes comportamentais descritas como transtornos e não como doenças, por não se conhecer bem sua etiopatogenia (Cordás et al, 2002). Acredita-se que a insatisfação com o corpo, juntamente com componentes genéticos, culturais, traços da personalidade, fatores traumáticos e situação familiar podem possuir um papel importante nesta comorbidade (Aranha et al, 2008, Lo Russo et al, 2008, Hague 2010.…”

Santos CVE. Sociodemographic characteristics, oral status and prevalence of Candida spp in patients of eating disorders [dissertation]. São Paulo: Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Odontologia; 2015. Versão Original.The oral changes in patients with eating disorders (ED) are studied in literature, but few articles disclose the connection between oral changes, oral candidiasis and sociodemographic characteristics. This study evaluated the sociodemographic characteristics, oral changes and the prevalence of Candida spp. Fourteen patients were evaluated. Six subjects were diagnosed with Anorexia (purging subtype), seven with Bulimia and one with EDNOS (eating disorders no specified). Every subject included was female with a mean age of 30,7 years. All of them answered a questionnaire and passed through a clinical exam to evaluate the oral health focusing on oral lesions, erosion, decayed and candidiasis. Saliva was collected for analysis.The social demographics characteristics were observed 28.4% of subjects exercise a paid activity, 42.8% had college degree and 78.5% were single. The mean time of ED was 14.8 years and mean time of medical diagnosis was 8.07 years. The clinical exam revealed the following data: DMFT mean of 10.57; Plaque index (oral hygiene) mean of 1.3; 71.4% of subjects showed tooth wear in enamel on palatine surface and 14,2%, perimolysis. This results suggest that patients with purging habits had higher DMFT than restrictive patients, the social class can be a predisposing factor for ED, the local where treatment was done influenced in isolation of Candida spp; and xerostomia did not influence in colonization of the fungus. The perimolysis presented relation with time of manifestation ED. This results showed the importance of concomitant treatment with dentistry.

The objectives of this study were to determine knowledge/beliefs of a group of Saudi Arabian dental students regarding overweight/obesity (OW/OB). Dental students (fourth-year, ifth-year, and interns) at King Saud University College of Dentistry completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding OW/OB in children and adults. Frequency distribution and chi-square analyses were done. The total respondents were 260 (response rate=87 percent), most of whom were male (59 percent). Half of the respondents reported their knowledge of OW/OB in adults/children to be average, with knowledge of pediatric OW/OB rated lower (37 percent reported it as fair/poor) than adult OW/OB (17 percent reported it as fair/poor). Only a third (34 percent) of the respondents selected body mass index (BMI) as the best method to identify OW/OB. More than half of the respondents correctly believed that OW/OB was a problem in many adults/children in Saudi Arabia. A slightly higher proportion endorsed a role for dentists in the identiication/prevention of OW/OB in children (76 percent) as compared to adults (69 percent). Female respondents had better knowledge than males about OW/OB and were more likely to correctly select BMI as the best method for identifying OW/OB. These indings may provide support for the expansion of education in these areas in the dental curriculum.
