Slide 3-

Goals of Oral Health Program Treat pain, diagnose pathology, and eliminate sources of infection 2. Stabilize and preserve oral tissues 3. Restore oral function 4. Educate patient regarding maintenance 5. Facilitate maintenance of adequate nutrition 6. Contribute to self-esteem and quality of life
Slide 4-

Dental Visits All patients should be encouraged to regularly visit the dentist, at least once every 6 months Patients should disclose HIV status to their dentists Preventive, restorative, palliative, rehabilitative services should be provided
Slide 5-

Dental Hygiene Reduces possible sources of infection and maintains integrity of teeth and gums Promotes a better appetite Identifies the correct use of topical and oral medications
Slide 6-

Mouth Care Involves the teeth, gums, palate and tongue Patients should be encouraged to: Brush teeth, at least twice/day or after meals Soft toothbrush, replace every 1 – 2 months Use toothpaste that contains fluoride Floss after meals (be cautious with low platelet counts) Regularly use an alcohol – free mouthwash Moisturize and lubricate lips and mucosa as needed
Slide 7-

Oral Care Brush 2 times/day with fluoride toothpaste Floss daily – (gently but thoroughly) Home fluoride program as appropriate Avoid constant snacking Avoid tobacco products Avoid alcohol
Slide 8-

Denture Care Patients should be instructed to clean dentures and partials as thoroughly and as often as natural teeth, at least twice/day. A denture brush or toothbrush should be used and all surfaces brushed with toothpaste. Patient should check the mouth and gums after removing dentures for signs of irritation, redness or swelling. The entire oral mucosa should be cleaned after removing dentures. If painful or bleeding, oral swabs or saline-soaked gauze should be used. Dentures should be soaked (use 1.5 % H2O2) for several minutes or overnight.
Slide 9-

Candidiasis Treatment – for Partials and/or Dentures Remove and thoroughly clean daily Soak in 1:1 dilution of chlorhexidine gluconate ( PerioGard or Peridex) 1% sodium hypochlorite (if no metal) Benzalkonium chloride 1:750 if metal May use Fungizone on tissue side of denture or Nystatin powder before insertion **Get a NEW toothbrush
Slide 10-

Nutritional Status Promote healing with a diet high in protein and calories. The patient should eat multiple small amounts each day. Supplement meals with vitamins and minerals Avoid foods that are coarse, rough, acidic or spicy. Eat warm foods rather than hot. Cold or frozen foods such as pops, ice cream, and frozen yogurt are soothing and refreshing.
Slide 11-

Xerostomia “Dry mouth” Inadequate saliva production - common May occur early in the course of the disease Dental visit necessary ensure health teeth and gums frequent recalls to avoid tooth loss alcohol-free fluoride rinses
Slide 12-

Xerostomia is the subjective feeling of oral dryness Patient states they can’t eat a meal without water Frequent thirst Often accompanied by objective evidence of hyposalivation Gloved hand will stick to mucosa No “pooling” of saliva observed in floor of mouth Significant dental decay Salivary gland enlargement sometimes observed Xerostomia – “Dry Mouth” Signs and symptoms
Slide 13-

Hyposalivation Inadequate saliva production - common Due to HIV infection and medications which contribute to impaired salivation Treatment with fluorides, good oral hygiene, and frequent recalls are essential to avoid tooth loss
Slide 14-

Xerostomia Management Saliva stimulants Sugarless gum ( Xylitol ) Sugarless hard lozenges Artificial saliva products - Optimoist, Oral moisturizer Mouth-Kote (OTC)
Slide 15-

Xerostomia Therapies Biotene mouthrinses – alcohol free and antibacterial Biotene moisturizers for lips, cheeks Biotene gum – sugar free
Slide 16-

Oral Pain Use topical anesthetics as needed but especially before meals *Note – gag reflex may be diminished or lost
Slide 17-

Sedative Mouth Rinse For temporary relief or pain from oral ulcers Rx: Must be compounded 80 ml 2% viscous xylocaine 80 ml Maalox 100 ml distilled water Disp: 260 ml Sig: Swish for 1 minute and expectorate *Note – gag reflex may be diminished or lost
Slide 18-

Fact vs. Fiction Common Products: beneficial vs. harmful: 1) Lemon and glycerin swabs Harmful- irritates and dries oral mucosa 2) Mouthwashes without alcohol Less beneficial if not formulated with an antiseptic agent (no antimicrobial effect) Can mix non alcohol rinses with saline or H2O2 (properly diluted)
Slide 19-

Fact vs. Fiction Common Products: beneficial vs. harmful: 3) Moisturizers Petroleum-based cannot be used in the mouth (danger of aspiration) and may cause lip inflammation with open wounds Use of water-soluble moisturizers - absorbed by skin and tissue, provide hydration, and if fortified with Vitamin E can speed healing of ulcers. Saliva substitutes help moisturize the oral cavity. 4) Protective Agents Substrates of antacids (e.g. Maalox) can be applied to inflamed or ulcerated areas Carafate dissolved in water can provide a protective coating (swish and swallow)
