Abstract EN
Oral health status of HIV positive individuals is in poor condition which may be a sequela of variety of factors.
This study was aimed at assessing and comparing the oral health status and oromucosal lesions between HIV positive and negative individuals in India.
A total of 126 HIV positive and 532 HIV negative individuals were recruited for the study.
Oral health status and oromucosal lesions were recorded using WHO oral health assessment form (1997).
Data was analyzed using chi-square and independent sample student’s t test.
Majority (85.7%) of people suffering from HIV belonged to lower socioeconomic status.
The mean for DMFT score was found to be significantly higher in HIV positive individuals (12.83±9.6) as compared to HIV negative individuals (8.34±7.6) (P value <0.0001).
Nearly 75% of HIV positive individuals showed oromucosal lesions with candidiasis (36%) being the most common.
Nearly 50% of HIV positive individuals had community periodontal index (CPI) and loss of attachment (LOA) score >2.
In conclusion HIV positive individuals have poor oral health status and poor periodontal status compared to control group.
Effective policies need to be drafted to take care of the oral health of this high risk group.
