Bulimia nervosa is among the most common health problems in contemporary society. It is a self-induced weight loss syndrome associated with distinct dental manifestations involving physical and psychologic symptoms. It is characterized by recurrent binge-purge episodes that occur at least once a day. This article describes the complete-mouth rehabilitation of a bulimic patient with a generalized enamel erosion of her dentition and a poor esthetic appearance. Porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations were used as the definitive treatment. Good esthetics and high self-esteem were the final results. Comprehensive restorative therapy was applied in this clinical case report to achieve both function and esthetics in a demanding situation.

Although inpatient or residential treatment involving nutritional rehabilitation is increasingly recommended for malnourished individuals with ARFID, best practices remain poorly defined. Existing studies on self-reported symptomatology and treatment course and outcome are primarily in child and adolescent cohorts and demonstrate inconsistent findings.

Eating disorder (ED) patients are frequently characterized by feelings of inefficacy. The aims of the present study were to investigate subjective incompetence and whether its early modification in therapy is associated with treatment response in terms of both psychological distress and well-being. Sixty female ED outpatients undergoing cognitive-behaviorally-based treatment integrated with nutritional rehabilitation were evaluated using: Subjective Incompetence Scale (SIS), Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and Psychological Well-being Scales (PWB).
