HIV Infection and Bone Loss Due to Periodontal Disease

Background: The goal of this study is to determine whether HIV infection or high‐risk behaviors associated with HIV infection are related to alveolar bone loss in a sample of subjects screened at a dental school clinic. Methods: Subjects were included in this study (N = 355) if they were HIV positiv...

Description
Summary:Background: The goal of this study is to determine whether HIV infection or high‐risk behaviors associated with HIV infection are related to alveolar bone loss in a sample of subjects screened at a dental school clinic. Methods: Subjects were included in this study (N = 355) if they were HIV positive or had high‐risk behaviors associated with HIV infection as identified by health risk behavior screening questionnaire. Bone loss measurements were obtained from radiographs. Both bivariate relationships and multivariate relationships between alveolar bone loss and three sets of variables were evaluated: high‐risk behavior questions, demographic variables, and HIV infection. Results: The following variables were found related to alveolar bone loss in bivariate relationships: age (P ≤0.0001); smoking (pack‐years) (P ≤0.0001); race (P ≤0.002); gender (P ≤0.032); male‐male sex (P
