There are several oral lesions related with AIDS, such as candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi's sarcoma, aphthous stomatitis, lichen planus, and other opportunistic infectious diseases. Among the others, Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common malignant tumor associated with AIDS, is closely linked to the number of CD4+ T cell. Kaposi's sarcoma often occurs in palate, the most prone site, and has characteristic clinical features in most cases. Sometimes, the tumor induces underlying bone destruction at late stage. We report a case of a 27 year-old man with AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma at left lower retromolar triangle, parapharyngeal area and discuss the management of AIDS patients in dentistry.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine whether a difference in the amount of bone graft material is needed between edentulous patients and dentulous patients and to calculate the amount of augmentation for a sinus lift procedure. METHODS: 19 patients (20 sinuses) were included to measure maxillary sinus volume. Facial CT scanning was performed using MX 8000 IDT CT devices (Philips, USA). And it was used for IDLvm (The IDL Virtual Machine) 6.0, CT Volume Analyzer Ver 2.3 program to measure maxillary sinus volumes RESULTS: At edentulous patients, volumes (mean+/-SD) of the inferior portion of the sinuses were 0.56+/-0.13 cm3 (5mm height), 2.35+/-0.57 cm3 (10mm height), 4.85+/-1.10 cm3 (15mm height). At dentulous patients, volumes (mean+/-SD) of the inferior portion of the sinuses were 0.41+/-0.18 cm3 (5mm height), 1.76+/-0.42 cm3 (10mm height), 3.80+/-0.84 cm3 (15mm height). A significant correlation was found between augmentation height (5mm, 10mm, 15mm) and the calculated sinus volume. (p=0.027, p=0.018, p=0.044) CONCLUSIONS: A significant correlation was found between augmentation height (5mm, 10mm, 15mm) and the calculated sinus volume. Detailed preoperative knowledge of sinus lift augmentation volume is helpful in determining the appropriate amount of the bone graft material.
