[Ethical, medico-legal and deontological aspects of dentistry in HIV infection]. / Aspetti etici, medico-legali e deontologici dell'odontoiatra nella infezione HIV.

Medical behaviour toward HIV infected patients is often complicated by fear, confusion and lack of knowledge. Since frequently pathological manifestations in the oral area are early signs warning of HIV infection, dentists must deepen their knowledge in this field in order to be able to help diagnose for early treatment as well to cope with connected ethical, medico-legal and deontological aspects.
