| Abstract | Adolescence is defined by the World Health Organization as the period of life comprising the age group between 10 and 19 years. It is a prone period to the development of body dissatisfaction itself. Inserted in a society that emphasize thinness as a mark of success and beauty, adolescents go through sacrifices, such as exaggerated diets , prolonged fasting and excessive exercises. These habits may contribute to the appearance of pathological behaviors in relation to feeding pattern. The Eating Disorders are psychopathological conditions, with serious complications in general health, characterized by excessive preoccupation with body image and eating behavior change. The main types are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, which are characterized by abnormal patterns of eating behavior and weight control, as well as changes in the perception of the own body. Vomiting and prolonged fasting, common practice of patients with these disorders, may provide oral problems, especially dental erosion. This is represented by the loss of hard tissue structure through a chronic pathologic process and the etching of the tooth surface. This loss is irreversible and can result from extrinsic or intrinsic factors. Given the above, this study aimed to determine the frequency of tooth erosion in adolescents and its relationship with the presence of symptoms of eating disorders. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional and association study with a sample of 136 adolescents of both sexes, aged 10-19 years, enrolled in the public state school Professora Amelia Coelho. The instruments used were: a biodemographic questionnaire; Eating Attitudes Test – EAT26, in its version for adolescents; Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh – BITE, in its version for adolescents, one of symptoms and another of gravity; and a dental clinic record for completing the Tooth Wear Index. The examiner was subjected to the processes of theoretical and practical calibration. A concordance test of intra-examiner and inter-examiner, Kappa, was performed, obtaining a score of 0.90. Statistics are represented by association tests chi-square of Pearson and exact of Fisher. After analyzing the results, it was observed that 30.8% of respondents presented medium/high score on the BITE, 33% presented positive scores for EAT-26 and 74.3% presented erosion. There was a statistically significant association between the presence of erosion and BITE scores with sex and age. Regarding the group of teeth and faces, the presence of erosion concentrated on anterior teeth (Incisors and Canines) on the lingual/palatal surfaces, with no association with the presence of symptoms of eating disorders. Therefore, it is concluded that dental erosion is an important factor to the dentist early investigate the presence of eating disorders and exerts its role in referring the patient to a multidisciplinary care. This outcome commends the Dentist, which can be considered as the first health professional to diagnose the framework, treating the patient concurrently with other health professionals, avoiding the worsening of the disorder or even its appearance. |
