Perio loss of biologic width in HIV+

[UCFpremed]

One of our instructors mentioned that there is a condition in HIV+ patients where they get loss of the biologic width. I've searched and cannot find it anywhere. Help anyone?

I found it. HIV+ patients can display necrotic bone sequestrum and this can contribute to loss of biologic width.
