 AB    OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the response of inner-city AIDS patients
       to available comprehensive dental care. METHOD: Special service clinics
       established initially in Newark and Camden provided only urgent dental
       care to AIDS patients. When financial resources were increased by city,
       state, and federal agencies, comprehensive dental care was provided.
       Treatment plans were modified for AIDS patients based on general
       systemic health. RESULTS: In order to quantitate the difference between
       dental procedures performed on cohorts of 492 AIDS and 100 non-AIDS
       patients, the following statistical data were obtained: TABULAR DATA,
       SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Our results show that
       inner-city AIDS patients are equally receptive to complete care as
       non-AIDS patients. Providing this type of care will enhance function,
       nutrition and quality of life for AIDS patients.
