Resumen
PEREA, M.A.; CAMPO, J.; CHARLEN, L. y BASCONES, A.. Periodontal disease and HIV infection: Up to date. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2006, vol.18, n.3, pp.135-147. ISSN 2340-3209.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can be related with the periodontal status. The damage of the immunological system by decreasing TCD4+ lymphocytes may compromise host defences therefore the susceptibility of suffering from several diseases in the oral cavity can also be increased. This review manuscript adresses the current aspects concerning to the periodontal disease in HIV infected patients and tries to explain how HIV may influence the subgingival microflora, increasing the risk of suffering periodontal problems. Others concomitant factors, not related with HIV infection, might help either the onset or increase the severity of the disease.
