Cognitive impairment is associated with poorer oral health in people with HIV: evidence from a pilot study.
Data suggest that PWH demonstrate poorer oral health compared to PWoH. Cognitive impairment in PWH is associated with worse periodontal and caries outcomes. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health interventions and consideration of cognitive impairment screening in dental care settings for PWH.
