 AB    New patterns of oral mucosal disease and indeed new disorders have been
       emerging over the past decade. Although infection with human
       immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) is having the most profound impact, there
       are also major changes in oral health and the standard of health care
       required, because of other new disorders and medical care. The increase
       in tissue transplantation, with the concomitant use of immunosuppression
       is resulting in a range of oral problems. Other iatrogenic oral diseases
       likely to increase include ulcers associated with cytotoxic
       chemotherapy; lichenoid eruptions related to drugs and restorative
       materials; and a multiplicity of other complications. Dilemmas are
       presented by some new disorders such as orofacial granulomatosis. No
       less are the difficulties presented by the now obvious heterogeneous
       nature of oral subepithelial vesiculobullous disorders. Finally, there
       are, even in these days of social medicine and antimicrobial
       availability, new infectious diseases emerging. Continued increases in
       population mobility; continued sexual promiscuity; and the development
       of new drugs are all likely to act to increase the spectrum of oral
       disorders seen.
