Despite a large amount of research of periodontal health seen in HIV infection, much remains to be learned. Very few large controlled studies of infected people at settings not self-selected for oral disease have been reported, and few have investigated the necrotising periodontal diseases described in HIV infection. In this paper we present a brief review of three approaches to identify periodontal changes associated with HIV infection and identify possible aetiological factors for them. First, we summarise the methods and findings of a controlled blinded study of the periodontal health of homosexual men attending a genito-urinary medicine clinic. Second, we precis a case-control study of gingival ulceration among patients at a dedicated dental clinic. Finally, we outline how the validity of diagnostic criteria for HIV-associated periodontal changes were tested against the data collected in the controlled study.
