From July 1984 to September 1988, a total of 373 patients with HIV infection have been observed in the Department of Oral Surgery (North), Free University of Berlin. Oral manifestations in HIV infection are numerous and some of these have been acknowledged as being of great importance in the early diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Oral manifestations in HIV infected individuals occurred as mycotic, bacterial or viral infection, neoplasms or manifestations of unknown etiology. Oral candidiasis occurring as pseudomembranous, hyperplastic and erythematous types should be considered. Oral hairy leukoplakia, pathognomonic for a HIV infection, has been considered to represent a probable diagnostic marker for the development of AIDS. HIV gingivitis and periodontitis are of particular significance.<BR>Early and correct diagnosis of HIV-associated manifestations are important to the patient as well as the dentist who should install adequate protection measures.
