A 50-Year-Old Woman Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Comorbid Conditions, Presenting for Scaling and Root Planing - 26/05/23
Résumé |
A 50-year-old female patient with a history of HIV, uncontrolled diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and chronic hepatitis C presents for dental evaluation and treatment because of bleeding gums. This article discusses modifications to her dental management with respect to her various medical conditions. Noninfectious comorbid conditions especially diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hyperlipidemia are common findings in patients with HIV. Modifications to dental treatment should not be based solely on HIV RNA (viral load) and CD4+ cell count. Dentists can play a role in ensuring patients’ comorbid medical conditions are well managed.
