Abstract

English summary Nor Tannlegeforen Tid. 2024; 134: 38-43. The case report describes the course of treatment for a former patient of bariatric surgery suffering from odontophobia and extensive caries. Using the patient’s story as our focal point, we explore relevant research in the field, where new studies indicate a probable link between bariatric surgery and caries. In conclusion we propose several measures to prevent oral health problems within this patient group. The patient has consented to the publication of her medical history, treatment, photograph, and X-rays.
