The disease now known as AIDS was reported a quarter century ago. A long siege began, and there is yet no end in sight. The face of AIDS has changed, the hopes of patients have changed, the prognosis has only been slightly mitigated. At this juncture it is appropriate to consider:
The changing face of AIDS
The changes in our practices
The culture of AIDS
The situation in the United States and the world
What we, as professionals, must do
As professionals, we must remember that the secret in the care of the patient is caring for the patient.

Advances in health care and medical technology have contributed to people living longer and more productive lives. Yet in many cases these advances bring challenges that may affect the manner in which dental care is provided. The dental team should keep up-to-date to provide the best care possible. This presentation will review and offer management recommendations for diseases and conditions including AIDs, hepatitis, cardiac conditions and other conditions that may complicate the provision of dental care.

Emphasize the interrelationship between a patient's medical history and oral health.
