 AB    OBJECTIVE: Since the first descriptions of Acquired immunodeficiency
       syndrome (AIDS) in 1981, the infection has been characterized as having
       significant oral manifestation in adult patient. But, we have less of
       these cases in Japan than in U.S.A. Therefore we present some cases of
       significant oral manifestation in Japanese. METHOD: The cases were Human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS patients who visited Komagome
       Hospital. The clinical findings were exhibited by photograph. RESULT: We
       observed candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia, angular cheilitis and other
       symptoms with HIV and AIDS patients in our dental department. DISCUSSION
       AND CONCLUSION: HIV related oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia and
       other significant oral manifestation affects approximately many
       HIV-seropositive patients and almost patients with AIDS. We also
       recognized oral manifestation precisely with HIV and AIDS patients in
       Japanese.
