Complicated clinical treatment requires intensive
training geared to the specific content, the
providers base knowledge, and the clinical
setting. The Pennsylvania/MidAtlantic AETC has
been in the forefront of training primary care
providers on assessment, treatment, prevention,
and specialty care for persons with HIV disease
and those at risk. Our program has placed
emphasis on reaching dentists and other dental
practitioners who are in the forefront of
providing dental treatment to these individuals.
Dental health professionals, as members of the
HIV treatment team are critical in assessment and
ongoing oral health care. Dental health for HIV
patients contributes to their well being and
improves their quality of life. This is the
rationale for our outreach to dental health
professionals and the reason for the development
of this document. We hope that, Dental
Management of Patients with HIV/AIDS Concepts
2002" will prove useful to dental health
professionals as they move forward with improving
both the quality of and access to dental care for
those with HIV disease.
