Actual (reported)Although numerous instruments are available to assess oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adults, there is a paucity of studies evaluating the impact of oral health on quality of life in children and adolescents. In Türkiye, no study has been conducted to assess oral health-related quality of life in patients with eating disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the oral health status of individuals diagnosed with eating disorders and healthy individuals without an eating disorder diagnosis using various clinical indices, as well as to assess oral health-related quality of life through questionnaires completed by both patients and their parents. At the conclusion of the study, the treatment needs of the patients will be communicated to both the patients and their parents, and the patients will be referred to the departments of pediatric dentistry and other relevant specialties at a university hospital to receive the necessary dental treatments.

Actual (reported)Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL)
The primary outcome measure of this study is the assessment of oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with eating disorders compared with healthy controls. Oral health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire, and group comparisons will be performed based on total OHIP-14 scores. Higher OHIP-14 scores indicate increased severity of oral health problems and poorer quality of life.
Through study completion, an average of 1 month.
Study Group (Eating Disorder Group)
Control Group (healthy group without eating disorders)
What distinguishes this study from others is the nature of the control group and the fact that the specified scales are used together for the first time.The study group consists of children and adolescents diagnosed with eating disorders who were referred to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic of Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine. The control group comprises physically and psychologically healthy children and adolescents who presented to the Faculty of Dentistry of Ondokuz Mayıs University. Participants in both groups will be selected within the age range of 12-18 years. All participating children, adolescents, and their legal guardians will be informed both verbally and in writing about the aim of the study, participation criteria, applied procedures, potential benefits, and possible risks. In addition, a questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, nutrition-related factors, dietary habits, and oral hygiene practices will be completed jointly by the ch
