Bulimia and oral health : Extra- and intraoral clinical signs (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka extra- och intraorala kliniska tecken hos individer med ätstörningen bulimi. Metod: Litteratursökningen har utförts i vetenskapliga databaser; Medline, CINAHL och Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source. Artiklar publicerade mellan år 2000–2021 var inkluderade. Totalt valdes det ut 10 vetenskapliga artiklar för denna litteraturstudie. Resultat: Resultatet visar att de vanligaste kliniska tecknen var reducerat salivflöde, lågt pH-värde i saliven, dentala erosioner, svullnad och erytem i gommens slemhinna, torra och nariga läppar och svullna Glandula Parotis salivkörtlar, dock fanns det ingen statistisk signifikans gällande karies och parodontala sjukdomar. Slutsats: Resultaten visar att intra- och extra kliniska tecken kan ses hos individer med bulimi, framförallt svullna Glandula Parotis salivkörtlar, reducerat salivflöde, lägre pH-värde i saliven och dentala erosioner. Kunskap om extra- och intraorala kliniska tecken hos tandvårdspersonal möjliggör tidig identifiering av sjukdomen bulimi och att preventiva insatser tillgodoses i ett tidigt stadie för att minska lidande hos patienten. 

Abstract [en]

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate extra- and intraoral clinical signs in individuals with the eating disorder bulimia. Material and method: An advanced search of literature has been completed in data bases as; Medline, CINAHL and Dentistry & Oral sciences source. Articles published in 2000-2021 were included. A total of 10 articles were included in this study. Results: The results show that the most common clinical signs were hyposalivation, low pH in the saliva, dental erosion, swelling and erythema in the palate mucosa, dry lips and swollen Glandula Parotid salivary glands. There were no statistically significant results in caries and periodontal diseases. Conclusions: There are some intra- and extraoral clinical signs that can be seen in individuals with bulimia, above all swollen Glandula Parotid salivary glands, reduced salivary flow, low pH in the saliva and dental erosions. Knowledge in extra- and intraoral clinical signs in dental staff makes it possible for early identification of the disease bulimia and preventive efforts can be offered in an early stage to reduce suffering for the patient.
