AB The pandemic dimension of HIV disease is a reality. The cases of
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids) and of new infections with HIV
continue to increase. Available antiretroviral therapy cannot halt the
progress of the disease. However, because of early diagnosis and
treatment, life expectancy has increased. Oral diseases in these
patients have the potential to cause severe pain, discomfort, alter form
and function and disseminate systemically. Comprehensive dental
management may be complicated by complex medical problems. Nevertheless,
as the epidemic grows, a higher number of infected individuals will need
dental care. A comprehensive dental management concept of the
HIV-seropositive individual still needs scientific investigation. There
are several unresolved psychosocial issues concerning the willingness of
dentists to treat HIV-infected patients. The possible transmission of
the virus from a dentist to his patients in a dental office in Florida
generated public and professional hysteria. Lack of knowledge about the
disease contributed to this situation. This literature review presents
the state-of-the-art information available on medical and dental aspects
of HIV disease and trends for the future in dental research, education
and patient care.
