This study evaluated the periodontal status of patients suffering from eating disorders (anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa). The work hypothesis is that eating disorder patients have a higher risk for periodontal diseases than non-eating disorder subjects.
Eating disorders have been associated with poor oral health. However, the relationship between eating disorders and periodontal diseases is less-established. Participants will be periodontally assessed using a full-mouth clinical evaluation.

RECRUITINGClinical Attachment Loss (CAL)
Periodontal probing depth and gingival recession are measured in millimeters using a manual periodontal probe (HuFriedy PCP UNC 15 probe, Chicago, IL, USA). At the clinical examination day, CAL is calculated as periodontal probing depth (mm) + gingival recession (mm) at 6 sites per tooth.
Time frame: at examination day
gingival inflammation
Gingival inflammation is measured by bleeding on probing score (%) at 6 sites per tooth.
Time frame: at examination day
