Haiti- Showed signs
1981, June 5th- CDC reported confirmed CMV and Candidal
infection(LAV)
In 1982 july 27th, the termAIDs first used
In 1984, Robert Gallo discovered the HIV virus- HTLV-III

6. EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AIDS
• As of 2012, approximately 35.3 million people are living with
HIV globally. Of these, approximately 17.2 million are men,
16.8 million are women and 3.4 million are less than 15 years
old. There were about 1.8 million deaths from AIDS in 2010,
down from 2.2 million in 2005
• Sub saharan africa is the region most affected. In 2010, 68%
(22.9 million) of all HIV cases.
• 66% of all deaths (1.2 million).

20. ANTI-RETROVIRAL DRUGS
Onethat blocksbinding of HIV totarget
cells
Onethat blocksviral RNA clevage
Onethat inhibits enzyme reverse
transcriptase 20

21. IDEAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Should be as specific as possible.
2. Should reduce viral production from infected cells.
3. Can be administered orally.
4. Should cross blood- brain barrier easily.
5. Should not develop resistance.
6. Shouldn’t be toxic.
21

22. ART…
• Zidovudine (AZT, ZDV)
• Retrovir
• Didanosine
• Videx
• Zalcitabine
• Hivid
• Stavudine
• Zerit
22
Nucleoside - stop HIV from replicating within cells by inhibiting the reverse
transcriptase protein.

23. ART…
• Nevirapine
• Viramine
• Delaviradine
• Rescriptor
• Efavirenz
• Sustiva
23
Non-nucleoside Reverse transcriptase inhibitors- stop HIV replicating within cells
by interfering with HIV's reverse transcriptase protein which it needs to make new
copies of itself

24. ART…
• .
• Saquinavir
• Invirase
• fortovase
• Ritonavir
• Norvir
• Indinavir
• Crixivan
• Relfiravir
• Viracept
24
Protease inhibitors- binds to the protease molecules and interfere with its cleaving
function and are more effective viral inhibitors:

25. “COCKTAIL”OR TRIPLE-THERAPY
• HAART
• Regimens include atleast one protease inhibitor or non-
nucleoside reverse transcriptse inhibitor in addition to one or
more nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
• SIDE EFFECTS
25

26. • Hemo-Modulator
26
works by filtering a patient's blood through the device which blasts
ultraviolet light onto the blood. The ultraviolet light effectively kills
the virus and jump starts the patient's immune system.

27. PROBIOTICS FOR HIV
• Lin Tao (2008) and his colleagues screened
hundreds of bacteria taken from the saliva of volunteers.
Results showed that some lactobacillus strains had
produced proteins capable of binding a sugar found on
•
binding to its sugar coating.
HIV envelope, called mannose.
One strain secreted abundant mannose-binding27
protein particles into its surroundings, neutralizing HIV by

28. WHAT’S THE ROLE OF DENTIST????
?
• 1. Provides routine dental care for HIV-infected individuals.
• 2. Understands the significance of oral lesions associated with
HIV disease, and performs evaluations, diagnostics, and
institutes treatment
• 3. Collaborates with other health care workers and social
support systems involved in the overall care of HIV-infected
patients.
28

29. LESIONS COMMONLY
ASSOCIATED WITH HIV
INFECTION
29

30. 30
Pseudomembranous Candidiasis Erythematouscandidiasis
Hyperplastic candidiasis Angular cheilitis
ORAL CANDIDIASIS

31. MANAGEMENT
• 1. More advanced lesions including hyperplastic candidiasis may require
systemic antifungal drugs.
• 2. Early oral lesions of HIV-related candidiasis are usually responsive to
topical antifungal therapy.
• 3. Most oral topical antifungal agents contain large quantities of sucrose,
which may be cariogenic after long-term use.
• 4. Sucrose-free nystatin, itraconazole and amphotericin-B are available.
• 5. Fluconazole oral suspension, chlorhexidine and cetyl pyridinium
chloride oral rinses may also be effective against oral candidal infection.
• 6. Systemic antifungal agents such as ketoconazole, fluconazole,
itraconazole and amphotericin-B are effective in treatment of oral
candidiasis.
31

32.  long-term use of ketoconazole may induce liver damage in
individuals with preexistent liver disease.
 The increased risk of chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C
infection in immunosuppressed individuals may put some
patients at risk for ketoconazole induced liver damage.
 If ketoconazole is prescribed, patients should receive liver
function tests at baseline and at least monthly during
therapy.
 The drug is contraindicated if the patient's aspartate
transaminase (AST) level is greater than 2.5 times normal.
 Its absorption also may be hampered by the gastropathy
experienced by many HIV-infected individuals
32

33. • TOPICAL DRUGS

then 1-2 tablets daily for 5-14days.
2. Fluconazole (Diflucan) 100mg tablets: take 2 tablets immediately,
then 1 tablet daily for 7-14 days.
3. Itraconazole (Sporanox) 100mg capsules: 200mg once daily with
meals for 4 weeks.

35. ORAL HAIRY LEUKOPLAKIA
• Microscopically, the lesion shows
A hyperparakeratotic surface with
projections that often resemble hairs.
• Beneath parakeratotic surface are
acanthosis and some characteristic balloon
cells resembling koilocytes.
• Epithelial displasia is not a feature and in
most OHL lesions little or no inflammatory
infiltrate in underlying C.T is seen
35

36. MANAGEMENT:
• 1. Oral hairy leukoplakia generally does not require
treatment.
• 2. Resolution has been reported after therapy with
acyclovir, zidovudine, podophyllin and interferon, but
usually recurs when treatment is discontinued.
• 3. Laser or Conventional surgery.
• 4. The incidence of OHL has been markedly reduced
since the advent of multidrug antiviral therapy for HIV
infection.
36

37. NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA
• Occurrence is more common in the gingiva.
• Has a characteristic white verrucous surface or necrosis of the
gingiva resembling ANUG.
• TREATMENT
• 1. Anti-malignancy drugs
• 2. Surgical excision
• 3. Radiation therapy
37

38. KAPOSI’S SARCOMA
• Kaposi’s sarcoma is a rare, multifocal
vascular.
• Median survival time after onset of KS
is 7 to 31 months
• Histologic picture:
• Endothelial cell proliferation with
formation of atypical vascular channels
• Extravascular hemorrhage with
hemosiderin deposition
• Spindle cell proliferation
• Mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate,
consisting mainly of plasma cells
38

39. MANAGEMENT
• 1. Treatment includes use of antiretroviral agents,
laser excision, radiation therapy or intralesional
injection with vinblastine, interferon α, or other
chemotherapeutic drugs.
• 2. Nicholas et al in 1993 described the successful
use of intralesional injection of vinblastine at a
dosage of 0.1 mg/cm2 using a 0.2mg/ml solution of
vinblastine sulfate in saline.
• 3. Intralesional injections with sodium tetradecyl
sulfate
39

40. • Destructive periodontitis has also been reported in
conjunction with gingival KS. In such instances, scaling and root
planing and other periodontal therapy may be indicated in
addition to intralesional or systemic chemotherapy.
40

41. ATYPICAL ULCERATIONS
• Most reported oral ulcers are to herpes simplex
virus, CMV, EBV, histoplasmosis, herpes zoster
and mainly recurrent apthous ulcers are often
associated.
• Resistant viral strains are treated with foscarnet,
ganciclovir or valacyclovir hydrochloride.
• Topical corticosteroid therapy (fluocinonide gel
applied three to six times daily) is safe
41

42. ORAL HYPERPIGMENTATION:
• Often appear as spots or striations in the
buccal mucosa, soft palate and the gingiva
or tongue.
• The pigmentation may relate to prolonged
use of drugs such as zidovudine,
ketoconazole or clofazimine.
• Zidovudine is also associated with excessive
pigmentation of the skin and nails.
Oral pigmentation may be caused by:
 Adrenocorticoid insufficiency caused by
prolonged use of ketoconazole
 Pneumocystitis carinii infection
 Cytomegalovirus infection
42

43. PERIODONTALCONSIDERATIONS
43

44. Periodontal considerations…
 Dennisn et al- first report linking periodontal disease and
HIV
 Parra & slots- HIV in GCF
 Barr et al- HIV RNA quantification in oral fluids
 Shugers et al- serum viral load corelates with the salivary
viral load
44
 Mononuclear cells present in GCF harbour HIV-1 DNA that
represents as a sourse of HIV in the oral cavity in the
presence or absence of bleeding- Maticic et al. 2000

45. LINEAR GINGIVAL ERYTHEMA:
Clinical features:
• A persistent, linear, easily bleeding,
erythematous gingivitis (LGE) has
been described in some HIV-positive
patients.
• May be localised or generalised
• No evidence of pocketing or
attachment loss.
45

46. Causes and pathogenesis
• candidal infection-Robinson
• Velegrakiet et al - Candida dubliniensis
• Winkler et al- CD4+ T cell depletion
• Barr et al
46

47. LGE treatment…
Treatment:
- Does not respond well to plaque removal
- Conventional therapy plus rinsing with 0.12% chlorhexidine
gluconate twice daily has shown significant improvement after 3
months (Grassi M et al).
- Povidone-iodine substantially reduced pain associated with the
lesions (winkler et al).
47

48. LGE treatment…
• Step 1: Instruct the patient in performance of meticulous
oral hygiene.
• Step 2: Oral prophylaxis.
• Step 3: Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse.
• Step 4: Reevaluate the patient in 2 to 3 weeks. If lesions
persist, evaluate for possible candidiasis. Consider empiric
administration of a systemic antifungal agent such as
fluconazole for 7 to 10 days.
• Step 5: Re-treat if necessary.
• Step 6: Place the patient on 2- to 3-month recall.
48

49. NECROTIZING GINGIVITIS:
Clinical features:
•
•
• HIV-related necrotizing gingivitis is
defined by EC-WHO as destruction of one or
more interdental papillae.
In the acute stage -ulceration, necrosis
and sloughing may be seen with ready
hemorrhage and characteristic fetor
The anterior gingiva is most commonly
affected (Greenspan1993).
49

50. NUG…
• Causes and pathogenesis
• The isolated organisms include Borrelia, gram-positive
cocci, P-hemolytic streptococci and C. albicans (reichert et al)
• Thompson et al
• Barr et al
50

51. Treatment
• Basic treatment may consist of cleaning and
debridement of affected areas with a cotton pellet
•
•
•
soaked in peroxide after application of a topical
anesthetic.
Escharotic oral rinses such as hydrogen peroxide
should only rarely be used, however, and are especially
contraindicated in immuno-compromised individuals.
Patient should be seen daily or every other day for
the first week
The periodontium should be re-evaluated 1 month 51
after resolution of acute symptoms to assess the
results of treatment and determine the need for further
therapy.

52. NUG…
• Does not always respond to conventional treatment with
scaling and improved oral hygiene (winkler jr et al).
• Adjunctive use of metronidazole & Antimycotic agents in
these patients is reported to be extremely effective in reducing
acute pain and promoting rapid healing (scully et al)
52

53. NECROTIZING PERIODONTITIS:
• Clinical features:
• According to the description by EC-
WHO necrotizing periodontitis is
periodontitis characterized by soft tissue
loss as a result of ulceration or necrosis.
Exposure, destruction or sequestration of
bone may be seen.
• The distinctive feature- loss
attachment
53

54. NUP…
• NUP is severely painful in onset and immediate therapy is
necessary
• On occasions, however, patients undergo spontaneous
resolution of the lesions, leaving painless, deep interproximal
craters that are difficult to clean and may lead to conventional
periodontitis 54

55. NUP…
Causes and pathogenesis:
• Higher proportions of C. albicans and C. rectus.
- Debilitating health and progression of disease
- However, some studies have also indicated that the association
between HIV-related immune depletion and periodontal
destruction is less strong (Martinez-Canut P, Guarinos J, jp
1996)
55

56. Treatment
 Local debridement
 Scaling and Root planing,
 Irrigation with an effective antimicrobial agent.
In severe NUP, antibiotic therapy may be necessary but
should be used with caution in HIV-infected patients to avoid
56
an opportunistic and potentially serious localized candidiasis or
even candidal septicemia.

57. NUP…
• Does not always respond to conventional treatment with
scaling and improved oral hygiene (winkler jr et al).
• Prophylactic prescription of a topical or systemic antifungal
agent is prudent if an antibiotic is used.
• 57

63. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE
TAKEN
• 1. Surgical gloves should be worn when touching
blood, saliva or mucous membranes.
• 2. Surgical masks and protective eyewear should be
worn.
• 3. Disposable or washable gowns should be used.
• 4. Instruments should be sterilized by autoclaving.
• 5. Debris should be removed by scrubbing with soap
and water before sterilization.
63

64. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN…
• 6. Surfaces should be decontaminated with sodium hypochlorite.
• 7. Needles should be disposed with safety guard.
• 8. Droplets and aerosol production should be avoided where
possible by use of rubber dam and high-speed evacuation.
• 9. Apparent Fumigation of the operating room is required as a
part of disinfection.
64

65. CONCLUSION:
The pathogenesis periodontal diseases in HIV+ subjects
may be due to the microflora, the effects of HIV and
other viral agents, and/or alterations in the host
response. These factors should be taken into
consideration in the treatment and prevention of
periodontal diseases in the HIV patient.
