With the increased demand to undertake dental aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, it is imperative for all dental clinicians to have an understanding of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Patient's preoccupations with perceived defect in appearance or excessive concern about minimal flaws are among diagnostic criteria of BDD. Such patients are difficult to please and often undergo cosmetic procedures such as orthodontic treatment.
Literature search in PubMed/MEDLINE was conducted from 1891 to 2015. A manual search of relevant articles and review was done and relevant data was collected and analysed.
One of the most common areas of preoccupation is the dento-facial region, with up to 20% of patients diagnosed with BDD expressing specific concern regarding their dental appearance.
BDD patients often request multiple aesthetic procedures, but remain unsatisfied with their treatment results.
随着进行牙齿美容和修复手术的需求增加，所有牙科临床医生都必须了解身体变形障碍（BDD）。患者对外表上察觉到的缺陷的过度关注或对微小瑕疵的过度担忧是BDD的诊断标准之一。这类患者很难取悦，并且经常接受诸如正畸治疗等美容手术。
在PubMed/MEDLINE中进行了从1891年至2015年的文献检索。对手头相关文章进行了手动检索和综述，并收集和分析了相关数据。
最常见的关注领域之一是牙面部区域，高达20%被诊断为BDD的患者对自己的牙齿外观表达了特别关注。
BDD患者经常要求进行多次美容手术，但对治疗结果仍不满意。
