Resumo
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is an association between risk behavior for eating disorders (EDs) and dental
erosion and caries. A controlled cross-sectional study was conducted in Brazil, involving 850 randomly selected female adolescents.
After evaluating risk behavior for eating disorders through the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh, 12 adolescents were
identified with severe risk behavior for EDs and matched to 48 adolescents without such risk. Dental examinations, anthropometric
measurements, and eating habits and oral hygiene were performed. Adolescents with high severity eating disorder condition were
not more likely to show dental caries (𝑝 = 0.329; OR = 2.2, 95% CI: 0.35–13.72) or dental erosion (𝑝 = 0.590; OR = 2.33; 95%
CI: 0.56–9.70). Adolescents with high body mass index (BMI) were five times more likely to have high severity eating disorder
condition (𝑝 = 0.031; OR = 5.1; 95% CI: 1.61–23.07). Therefore, high severity risk behavior for EDs was not significantly associated
with dental caries and dental erosion. However, high BMI was a risk factor for developing eating disorders and should be an alert
for individuals with this condition.
