- ÍtemSolo MetadatosManejo odontológico del paciente portador de VIH-SIDA. Revisión de la literatura(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Arizaga Carreño, Adriana Nikolls; Matute Merchán, Sara Eufemia; 1400817845Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causing AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is currently a pathology of great importance that has arisen in the community as it predisposes the patient to various opportunistic infections or neoplasms. Science has shown considerable progress in its knowledge about its transmission routes, clinical and symptomatologic manifestations, as well as its treatment, without neglecting issues such as the promotion and prevention of this pathology. However, in dentistry, knowledge is very vague for professionals and patients. Method: A descriptive documentary study based on a literature review and an update on the dental approach to patients with HIV/AIDS was carried out. Objective: The aim of this literature review is to increase knowledge of the timely and adequate management of patients with HIV/AIDS in order to improve their quality of life and offer treatment that guarantees adequate management. Conclusion: The need to generate, standardize, and update stomatological protocols is emphasized, generating skills and strengthening the knowledge of specialists and general dentists in patients with HIV-AIDS.
