AB Periodontal diseases may be the first clinical sign of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection. Since the immunosuppression and
subsequent susceptibility may alter the responses of the oral tissues as
well as the microflora, both periodontal treatment and result of therapy
may be modified. The periodontal diseases in HIV-seropositive patients
include common as well as less conventional forms of gingivitis and
periodontitis, and bacterial, mycotic and viral infections are seen.
Neoplasias may also involve the periodontium; most common are Kaposi's
sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Recent studies of unselected groups
of patients indicate that periodontal health in at least some groups of
HIV-seropositive patients is better than previously reported.
