Tooth surface loss by erosion presents a challenge to the general practioner in terms of identification of patients at risk, diagnostic investigation and early therapy. The guidelines contain advice for changing the food habits and behaviour in oral hygiene.

Several particularities in the psychological care of patients with eating disorders are described.
