Dental care for patients with HIV

Dental Update
W Birnbaum

Abstract

Awareness is growing among dental practitioners of the hazards of blood-borne pathogens, especially since the advent of HIV infection and AIDS. This awareness has promoted fundamental changes in the practice of dentistry. There is no reason, as long as infection control procedures are followed carefully, that otherwise well HIV-positive individuals should not be treated routinely in a standard clinical environment.
