Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) presents
as painful, swollen gums associated with an erythematous line at
the gingivodental border. ANUG can lead to rapidly progressive periodontal
disease and tooth loss. HIV-infected patients with gingival disease
should be empirically started on oral antibiotic therapy and promptly
referred for dental evaluation. |
