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.

“…Because of the small number of patients with viral load >10,000 copies/ml, the association between the viral load and the clinical parameters or the detection of the viruses could not be determined. One study suggested that the progression of periodontal disease did not differ between HIV‐infected and non‐infected women and CD4 counts and viral load had no effect in PD and CAL in HIV‐infected patients (Alves et al 2006) but two others demonstrated that elevated HIV viral loads in the serum and gingival crevicular fluid were indeed associated with increased periodontal attachment loss, and the prevalence of both periodontitis and gingivitis was significantly greater in the CD4<200 group than in the CD4>200 group (Maticic et al 2000, Ranganathan et al 2007).…”

Background:Periodontitis is one of the major reasons for tooth loss in adults. India, with a population of over 1 billion, is bound to become a developed nation soon. This transition will require a population that is healthy, including in terms of periodontal health. Early studies done in India gave an indication that the population is highly susceptible to periodontitis.Aim:This paper reviews the prevalence of periodontitis in the Indian population.Settings and Design:Review of periodontitis prevalence studies on the Indian population.Materials and Methods:After identifying articles from PubMed and hand searching, the epidemiology of periodontitis is reviewed together with the case definition, study settings, type of population, age and other factors as all these are bound to affect the prevalence rates determined in various studies.Statistical Analysis:None.Results:This review identifies very limited number of studies that provide prevalence data and faces difficulty in comparing various studies due to nonstandardization of case definition and use of nonrepresentative samples. There is a high prevalence of periodontitis among the adults and the economically weak population.Conclusions:There is a very urgent need for standardized population-based studies with a robust design to identify the true prevalence of periodontitis, which in turn will help in planning oral health policies and creating the necessary infrastructure.
