HIV status and the risk of post-extraction complications

Oral complication risks after invasive and non‐invasive dental procedures in HIV‐positive patients

“…A complication rate of 5.6 % (3/54) was found after tooth extraction. The overall complication rate was lower in comparison with findings reported by Dodson (1997a), who found rates of 22.4% in HIV‐positive and 13.3% in HIV‐negative patients after surgical and non‐surgical extractions, although the difference did not reach significance and complications were readily and rapidly treated in the outpatient setting. Furthermore, this difference was smaller when persistent postoperative pain was excluded (HIV‐positive rate of 13% vs HIV‐negative rate of 9%).…”

“…Presence of oral lesions and smoking habit may also be related to these complications. In a previous study, only the TCD8+ count predicted post‐extraction complications, although there was no need to delay treatment in an HIV‐positive patient healthy enough to appear for examination as an outpatient (Dodson, 1997a). In the present study, no significant relationship was found between oral complications and immunological, virological or other laboratory values.…”

Is there a need for postoperative antibiotics after third molar surgery? A 5‐year retrospective study

“…The assessment of postoperative complications after third molar extractions reflects a high degree of variability, possibly due to different study designs and differing definitions of complications . These inconsistencies have resulted in wide‐ranging complication rates, from 2.6% to 30.9% .…”

Root Coverage in an HIV‐Positive Individual: Combined Use of a Lateral Sliding Flap and Resin‐Modified Glass Ionomer for the Management of an Isolated Severe Recession Defect

“…Many studies 18‐20 demonstrated a good response to infectious diseases even before the advent of HAART therapy. For example, treatment of periodontal disease in HIV‐positive patients can be accomplished using routine dental treatment 17 .…”

“…Since the widespread use of HAART therapy, the medical and dental literature is replete with reports 18‐27 of surgical procedures performed in the HIV‐positive population with no significantly increased number of complications. In fact, numerous case reports have reported a remarkable lack of complications directly attributable to HIV infection following simple and surgical extractions, 18 implant placement, 21‐26 vestibuloplasty using palatal soft tissue grafts, 27 and endodontic treatment 61 . In the only report 59 of a root coverage procedure attempted in an HIV‐positive individual, the complications were primarily caused by the concomitant presence of hemophilia.…”
