This case‐controlled study compared the types of routine dental services provided to an HIV‐infected group with those provided to an HIV‐negative cohort. No statistical differences in requesting dental treatment (routine or emergency) or in the types of dental treatment provided to the two groups were reported, except in the provision of prosthetic dentistry and the development of a comprehensive treatment plan.
