Abstract


Eating disorders are regarded as “psychiatric syndromes”characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress about body image. A multidisciplinary approach of a dentist, a psychiatrist and a physician are important and mandatory for correctly diagnosing and proper management of the patient with these disorders. The oral manifestations should be treated at the earliest, failure to which it may lead to more severe systemic complications. This review elaborates the current data regarding the aetiology of each, investigative features, risk factors involved, associated complications and treatment modalities that will be efficacious for the clinician in management of such disorders.
