[Prevention of AIDS in the dental area]

After a brief analysis of the present epidemiological situation both international and of our country, on the possibility of early diagnosis on clinical and laboratory bases, the A.A. dwell upon the most frequent dental pathologies in case of AIDS and upon the possibilities of singling patients suffering from the so-called "spy-lesions" of the oral cavity, which are characteristic in most cases. The A.A. conclude by reporting the methodologies (materials and methods) which are to be used, from time to time, in order to carry out a careful and correct anti-AIDS prophylaxis in dentistry, either of individuals and medical personnel or of instruments and work-environments.
