Identifying and treating HIV-related oral conditions: a clinical grand rounds approach.
The authors describe an innovative method for teaching dental professionals to differentially diagnose and treat HIV-related oral lesions. The method included a half day of didactic presentations and a half day of clinical grand rounds. The clinical grand rounds featured clinical stations where small groups of practitioners observed HIV oral manifestations and interacted with patients. Their observations were discussed with two dentists expert in diagnosing and managing oral complications of HIV. Videotapes of the patients' oral lesions augmented the discussions.
