ABSTRACT

Objective:

The objective of this study was to evaluate mandibular osteoporotic alterations in patients with HIV infection in comparison to non-HIV-infected patients using panoramic radiographs. Material and

Methods:

26 HIV-infected patients and 142 non-HIV-infected patients (control group) were included in this study. Panoramic radiographs of the participants were assessed considering mandibular cortical index (MCI). Non-parametric comparisons between groups were performed, using Mann-Whitney test, at a level significance level of p= 0.05.

Results:

HIV-infected patients presented lower bone mineral density (BMD) at mandible, assessed by MCI in panoramic radiographs when compared to non-HIV-infected patients. The medication intake of HIV-infected patients was highly heterogeneous and could not be associated to the low BMD presented in the mandibular cortex.

Conclusions:

HIV-infected patients may present lower mandibular BMD than non-HIV-infected patients. (AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as alterações osteoporóticas mandibulares em pacientes com infecção por HIV comparando-os com pacientes não infectados, por meio de radiografias panorâmicas. Material e

Métodos:

26 pacientes infectados pelo HIV e 142 pacientes não infectados (grupo controle) foram incluídos neste estudo. As radiografias panorâmicas dos participantes foram avaliadas considerando o índice da cortical mandibular (MCI). Comparações não paramétricas entre os grupos foram realizadas, com o teste de Mann-Whitney e nível de significância de p = 0,05.

Resultados:

Pacientes infectados pelo HIV apresentaram menor densidade mineral óssea (BMD) na mandíbula, avaliada pelo MCI em radiografias panorâmicas, quando comparados aos pacientes não infectados pelo HIV. A ingestão de medicamentos de pacientes infectados pelo HIV foi altamente heterogênea e não pôde ser associada à baixa BMD apresentada no córtex mandibular.

Conclusões:

Pacientes infectados pelo HIV podem apresentar BMD mandibular menor do que pacientes não infectados pelo HIV. (AU)
