Abstract
Gingival and periodontal involvement has been described in individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The manifestations often include erythematous gingivitis, necrotizing gingivitis, and periodontal involvement characterized by rampant loss of bone and soft tissue, resulting in recession without the formation of periodontal pockets. We present cases of HIV‐associated periodontitis (HIV‐P) in which advanced periodontal pocket formation was present. Periodontal disease may show a broad range of severity in patients with various T,4 helper cell counts.Keywords
