ABSTRACTBulimia is a distinct diagnostic eating disorder with its most noted manifestation being the rapid ingestion of large quantities of food followed by its elimination through the mouth. Because of the dental implications of highly acidic stomach contents chronically being regurgitated, the dentist is in a unique position to help identify the patient with bulimia. Dental erosion is not only the most easily noted but also the most destructive of the many oral problems caused by bulimia. This report of case describes a preventive dental prosthesis that can be used by the patient with bulimia to protect those teeth that are most affected by dental erosion. The construction of the prosthesis is easily completed with materials in the dental office and provides a great service to the patient with bulimia.
