Resumen
JONKER, CH y VAN DER VYVER, PJ. Endodontic management of an unidentified foreign body in a maxillary central incisor of a HIV-positive patient. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2019, vol.74, n.6, pp.325-328. ISSN 0375-1562. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2519-0105/2019/v74no6a8.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a focal point of investigation over the last few years. Consideration of endodontic treatment in an HIV-positive patient needs a calculated approach as the choice of materials and chemicals may influence the final result. A recent investigation showed that cases presenting with pre-operative pathology during examinations have a significantly lower prognosis after treatment. This clinical case report discusses the treatment approach of an upper left central incisor of an HIV-positive patient. The treatment approach and the outcome after a fifteen-month follow-up period are outlined.
