title: [HIV and dentistry. Part 4. Oral deviations in HIV infections: present classification and diagnostic criteria].
abstract: In the present classification of oral lesions associated with HIV infection a distinction is made between presumptive and definitive diagnostic criteria. The former relate to the initial clinical appearance of the lesion and the latter are often the result of special investigations. Candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, specific forms of periodontal disease, Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are strongly associated with HIV infection. Lesions less commonly associated with HIV infection and lesions seen in HIV infection, but not indicative of the disease, are also listed.
