An update on the human immunodeficiency virus and infection control.

This report is not an attempt to provide a comprehensive review of HIV infection, AIDS, and infection control. Rather it has highlighted some of the medical, ethical and legal aspects associated with the AIDS dilemma which are of significance to the dental profession. There would appear to be few if any valid professional reasons which a dentist may use to avoid treating an HIV infected or AIDS patient. In fact, dentists adopting such an attitude may be subject to litigation. From a research perspective, it is feasible that continuing monitoring of the oral manifestations of AIDS and its associated diseases will contribute much information regarding the responses of the oral tissues to immunosuppression. This, in turn, may result in a better appreciation of common dental diseases especially periodontitis. The information on infection control has emphasized how a knowledge of the basic microbiologic concepts regarding disease transmission should be used as the foundation for effective prevention of disease transmission.

Potentially fatal hereditary angioedema: a review and case report.

Hereditary angioedema is a disease based upon a biochemical deficiency which may result in sudden and unexpected death principally from respiratory distress due to swelling of the pharyngeal tissues. Dental treatment is not an uncommon initiator of such edema. To perform dental care safely, it is necessary to understand the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. This article presents a review of these features, and indicates via a case report how knowledge of them was essential in conducting safe, effective and efficient dental treatment.

Commonly prescribed medical drugs and their significance in dental therapy. Part I--The antibiotics.

An analysis of Tables I and II reveals that the 20 drugs most frequently prescribed by family practitioners may be classified into 10 therapeutic categories. The antibiotics constitute the numerically largest group. The medical use, adverse reactions, and dental significance of these antibiotics have been described. The remaining drugs will be discussed using a similar format in subsequent papers.
