Dental management of a child with anorexia nervosa who presents with severe tooth erosion.

Carbonated soft drinks can, when consumed regularly and in large quantities, cause severe dental erosion. In patients with anorexia nervosa the temptation to substitute these drinks for their regular diet has increased, since they are readily available, relatively cheap and their consumption is socially acceptable. The dental management of a young child suspected of having anorexia, who presented with severe dental erosion, is described.

A semiquantitative method of recording experimental tooth erosion and estimating occlusal wear in the rat.

As the erosive agent, a sport-drink mixture with pH 3.2 was given to Osborne-Mendel rats for 6 weeks. Lingual surfaces of the right first mandibular molar crowns were chosen for the recording. With the aid of a drawing tube mounted on a stereomicroscope, enlarged drawings of the surfaces were made encircling the intact and eroded areas. A computer-coupled analyser was used to measure the areas of the total surface, intact surface, eroded enamel and exposed dentine in square millimetres. The data was evaluated statistically and used to calculate erosion changes and to estimate occlusal wear.

Bulimia and tooth erosion.

Eating disorders are often associated with regurgitation of gastric contents into the mouth and dental erosion. In this study the dental status was evaluated in bulimic patients. Thirty-five bulimics, diagnosed in the Outpatient Departments of Psychiatry and Adolescent Psychiatry of the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, and 105 controls matched for age, sex, and educational level were examined clinically, and the factors associated with dental erosion and caries were evaluated in an interview. Severe dental erosion and dental caries were significantly commoner among bulimics than controls. Bulimics commonly had a low salivary flow rate, but other apparent risk factors of dental erosion did not differ from those of controls. A feeling of dry mouth was commoner among bulimics than controls, and bulimics had an increased tooth sensitivity to cold and touch. More should be done to protect teeth from dental erosion among bulimics, because loss of tooth tissue remains even if the eating disorder disappears.

Effects of phosphates in acid-containing beverages on tooth erosion.

Rat studies demonstrated that low-pH powdered beverage mixes containing monocalcium phosphate caused less molar erosion than reconstituted frozen orange juice and grape juice when these beverages were consumed at excessive levels. A number of sodium phosphate supplements in low-pH beverages were not as effective as monocalcium phosphate in preventing molar erosion. Total acidity or pH values of the beverages could not be used with reliability to predict their potential to cause molar erosion.
