Abstract

CAPUTO, Guillermo et al. Epidemiology and frequency of sexually transmitted diseases and their impact on oral mucosa. A narrative review. Rev. Asoc. Odontol. Argent. [online]. 2022, vol.110, n.1, pp.48-55. ISSN 2683-7226.  http://dx.doi.org/10.52979/raoa.1196.

The aim of this review was to analyze and compare publications on the prevalence of oral manifestations in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Human Papilloma Virus and syphilis. The most reliable studies were selected, and incidence was evaluated according to gender, age, geographic location and frequent anatomic sites. It was found that the most prevalent Human Immunodeficiency Virus oral lesions were oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia and periodontal diseases, among others. Syphilis had a 7.5% prevalence of oral manifestations in the primary stage, 92.5% in the secondary, and rarely lesions in the tertiary. The most prevalent forms were mucous patches, papules and ulcers. The benign oral lesions related to the Human Papilloma Virus were verruca vulgaris, squamous papilloma, condyloma acuminatum and multifocal epithelial hyperplasia. The prevalence of oropharyngeal and oral carcinomas were 33.6% and 22.2%, respectively.

Similarities were found in sexual behavior and transmission routes of the diseases analyzed, which were more prevalent among young adult males, and in developing countries.
