Urgent Need for Dental Care Most people with HIV experience oral manifestationsof the disease Preventive care can stall progression of periodontal disease Preventive care/prompt treatment can reduce discomfort and ensure better nutrition and ability to take medications Detection of oral symptoms may serve as trigger for medical care 9. Unmet Need is High Surgeon Generals report significant oral healthdisparities Unmet oral health needs among HIV+ people are higherthan for the general population (Marcus et al, 2000) Unmet needs for oral health care are higher than unmetneeds for medical care (Helsin et al, 2001). 40-50% of HIV+ do not receive oral health care. 10.

There has been a significant decrease in the overall prevalence of oral lesions from 47 85% pre-cART to 3246% post cART. (Patton et al. 2000; Schmidt-Westhausenet al. 2000;GaitanCepedaet al. 2008, Tam-Maury IM et al. 2011) Factors, which predispose expression of orallesions, include: CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm3 Viral load greater than 3,000 copies/mL xerostomia (dry mouth) poor oral hygiene smoking 13. Smoking-Related Health Risks Among Persons with HIV in the Strategies for Management of Antiretroviral Therapy Clinical Trial Among participants, 40.5 percent were current smokersand 24.8 percent were former smokers.
