The prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease in African HIV-infected patients has not previously been assessed, in spite of the high prevalence of HIV-infection in some countries and the fact that atypical gingivitis may represent an early sign of HIV infection. In the present study 83 AIDS patients hospitalized in Kinshasa, Zaire, were assessed for dental caries, gingivitis and oral hygiene status. The prevalence of dental caries was lower among AIDS patients than among healthy controls previously examined in the same area. The prevalence of gingivitis was higher in AIDS than in controls in spite of good oral hygiene observed among AIDS patients.
尽管在一些非洲国家艾滋病毒感染率很高，而且非典型牙龈炎可能是艾滋病毒感染的早期迹象，但此前尚未对非洲艾滋病毒感染患者的龋齿和牙周疾病患病率进行评估。在本研究中，对扎伊尔金沙萨住院的83名艾滋病患者的龋齿、牙龈炎和口腔卫生状况进行了评估。艾滋病患者的龋齿患病率低于该地区此前检查过的健康对照组。尽管观察到艾滋病患者口腔卫生良好，但艾滋病患者的牙龈炎患病率高于对照组。
