Abstract:
The dental treatment of HIV-positive individuals has undergone a change from the management of HIV-associated oral lesions to routine comprehensive dental care. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report in which palatal soft tissue grafts were used for vestibuloplasty in an HIV-positive patient with a shallow mandibular vestibule. No adverse sequelae were seen during follow-up.
