Product Description:


The aim of this study is to compare the degree of severity of chronic periodontitis in HIV-seropositive subjects with chronic periodontitis to control subjects with chronic periodontitis, in the Ga-Rankuwa area in South Africa. Two cohorts of subjects with chronic periodontitis were recruited for this study over a period of time: thirty HIV-seropositive subjects; and 30 control subjects presumed to be HIV -seronegative and apparently in good health. HIV-seropositive subjects with chronic periodontitis show clinical manifestations of similar degree of their periodontal disease to those of healthy control subjects with chronic periodontitis, with no differences in the mean probing depth, gingival recession, plaque index and bleeding index.
