Oral Examination
Creamy-white patches covered whole L't BM and posterior R't BM
Removable by scraping
Oral Examination(cont~)
White patches covered palate extending from hard palate to soft palate, measuring approximately 5cm x 3cm.
The patches could be removed by scraping it and the surface covered by the white patches was reddish.
Upper dentition:
malocclusion
White plaques covered the dorsal tongue ranging along the lateral border. The plaques could be removed by scraping it, too.
Oral Examination(cont~)
White patches covered the lower lip extending from the L't mouth angle to the middle. The patches could be removed.
Several small vesicles with some crusts around the
L't mouth angle.
Gingival inflammation and cervical abrasion

Oral Lesion of AIDS Stage
The onset of OC and/or OHL is heralded by the
sequence of a sustained reduction of CD4+, with an associated sharp increase of VL.
After adjustment for clinical stage and antiretroviral use, the main factor associated with the
development of either oral lesion and OC was CD4+
count
Adv Dent Res 19:122-129, April, 2006 E. Blignaut1*, L.L. Patton2, W. Nittayananta3,V.
Ramirez-Amador4, K. Ranganathan5, A. Chattopadhyay6
Are oral candidiasis and hairy leukoplakia
related to the CD4 and viral load kinetics
during HIV infection?
OC predicted CD4
+counts, changes in CD4
+counts, and AIDS-defining disease occurrences after adjustment for VL.
OHL predicted CD4
+counts but not a change in CD4
+count .
Number of OC episodes was the most significant predictor for change in CD4
+count after adjustment for antiretroviral medications.

What is more important in the development of oral
candidiasis in HIV-infected patients, low CD4 counts or high viral load?
CD4 hallmark predictor:200 cells/L.
VL < 36000 copies/ml Æ no confounding effects of CD4
VL > 36000 copies/ml
• CD4 Æ < 45 cells/L -- 100% OPC+
• 45 ~ 150 cells/L -- 20% OPC+
• 150 ~ 500 cells/L -- 100% OPC+
Viral load was more important than CD4 cell number as a predictor of OPC

Oral Care and Treatment
Protocols in HIV
Consent:
‧Based on a patient's voluntary authorization
Confidentiality:
‧Not absolute
Dental duty of care:
‧Unethical to refuse
Does an oral health care worker have a professional
obligation to disclose their own HIV ?
‧
“ It was both safe and desirable to make regular dental care available to HIV-positive patients."
ADA 1994:
Circumstances when routine dental treatment may need to modified:
Low CD4 lymphocyte levels predispose to oral lesions requiring specific treatment
Reduced platelet levels below 60,000 cells mm3- (normal 150,000~400,000) effect clotting time Reduced neutrophil levels below 500 cells mm3- (normal 2500~7500) may require antibiotic
prophylaxis
Patients with late stage AIDS may require a rolling treatment plan with regular reviews of ability to attend and withstand treatment
‧Screen for HIV-related oral lesions and treat if necessary
‧Screen for xerostomia as a possible symptom of HIV or as side-effect of HAART
Consensus guidelines:
‧Prevent further disease
Blood analysis~ assist in planning treatment
‧Patients with HAART medications (breakdown in liver function)
Local anesthetic :
No evidence-based data support the need for routine antibiotic to prevent
bacteremia and septicemia
Indications:
‧CD4+ ≤200 per μl
‧PMNL ≤ 500 per μl , before oral
sugery (antibacterial mouthrinse and scaling)
‧Patients infected HIV via IV drug use
Æ at risk for developing endocarditis
Conclusion
Oral candidiasis can be the first manifestation of HIV infection.
OC present Æ VL
Aggressive dental procedure could be delayed if oral candidiasis present
Consent was not absolutely right
