The oral research community needs an understanding of the social causes, consequences, and costs of disease in relation to oral health. This workshop concluded that HIV infection constitutes a special dental need requiring specific arrangements to facilitate oral care for infected persons. Oral manifestations of HIV infection affect everyday life, but more evidence is needed on the effects of interventions to alleviate these impacts. Other oral health habits add to the burden of HIV/AIDS-associated oral diseases and compete with them for resources. These problems are most acute where the prevalence of HIV is high and resources are scarce. Effective health promotion is therefore important in these areas. Without data on the utility of oral health care in developing countries, practical approaches are guided by societal and multidisciplinary principles. There are also important ethical considerations.
口腔研究界需要了解与口腔健康相关的疾病的社会成因、后果及成本。本次研讨会得出结论，艾滋病毒感染构成了一种特殊的口腔需求，需要做出特定安排，以便为感染者提供口腔护理。艾滋病毒感染的口腔表现会影响日常生活，但需要更多证据来证明干预措施对减轻这些影响的效果。其他口腔健康习惯加重了与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的口腔疾病的负担，并与这些疾病争夺资源。在艾滋病毒流行率高且资源稀缺的地区，这些问题最为严重。因此，有效的健康促进在这些地区很重要。由于缺乏关于发展中国家口腔保健效用的数据，实际方法以社会和多学科原则为指导。此外，还有重要的伦理考量。
