Abstract:
Provision for high standard of oral health care is a fundamental requirement for any individual and dentists constantly strive to provide optimal treatment to their patients. However, when it comes to treating subjects with infectious diseases particularly those attached with social stigma like HIV/AIDS, there remains doubts and hesitations. This may lead the practitioners to breach the ethical responsibility by denying or not providing adequate treatment to these patients. Such situations can easily be avoided with thorough knowledge and awareness among the oral health care providers including prosthodontists regarding the disease process, its implications and measures to be taken during their treatment. This article summarises key points in prosthodontic management of HIV/AIDS patients which in the opinion of the author may be easily incorporated in routine dental practice.
