AB The prevalence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is steadily
increasing among American children. The dental needs of these patients
are significant. This study evaluated the oral health of forty children
being treated for HIV-infection at the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). Eight of twenty-two patients in primary dentition (36 percent)
had baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD). These cases required extensive
dental restoration usually under general anesthesia. Tooth development
was delayed in 31 percent of patients. Candidiasis was the most common
soft tissue abnormality, found in 35 percent of children. Preventive and
therapeutic dental programs should be instituted to meet the special
needs of pediatric AIDS patients.
