Before & After: Dental Effects of Bulimia
Patsy arrived at the dental office with severely worn teeth and a history of bulimia. Having successfully overcome the ravages of this disease, the patient was determined to restore her smile through the magic of modern dentistry.
Many of Patsy’s teeth had been worn nearly to the gum line, and numerous pulps (nerve chambers) were exposed. It was necessary to perform multiple root canal treatments, that cast posts might be fitted into the roots of the teeth to establish anchorage upon which crowns could be retained. Porcelain fused to metal restorations were chosen for strength and durability.
