J Oral Pathol Med. 1989 Jan;18(1):42-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0714.1989.tb00731.x.

Abstract

Seventy-five consecutive HIV-infected patients, including 33 AIDS cases were examined. One or more oral mucosal lesions were observed in 57 (76%); candidiasis was the most common finding (52%). Others included hairy leukoplakia (16%), periodontal disease (16%) and Kaposi's sarcoma (4%). Diversity of study design and methods allowed no reliable comparison with other reports.
