AB New patterns of oral mucosal disease and indeed new disorders have been
emerging over the past decade. Although infection with human
immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) is having the most profound impact, there
are also major changes in oral health and the standard of health care
required, because of other new disorders and medical care. The increase
in tissue transplantation, with the concomitant use of immunosuppression
is resulting in a range of oral problems. Other iatrogenic oral diseases
likely to increase include ulcers associated with cytotoxic
chemotherapy; lichenoid eruptions related to drugs and restorative
materials; and a multiplicity of other complications. Dilemmas are
presented by some new disorders such as orofacial granulomatosis. No
less are the difficulties presented by the now obvious heterogeneous
nature of oral subepithelial vesiculobullous disorders. Finally, there
are, even in these days of social medicine and antimicrobial
availability, new infectious diseases emerging. Continued increases in
population mobility; continued sexual promiscuity; and the development
of new drugs are all likely to act to increase the spectrum of oral
disorders seen.
