RESUMO
Ever since its initial outbursts in high-risk groups, AIDS has had an appalling impact within the oncological sphere, since it combines opportunistic pathologies with the occurrence of malignancies caused by loss of defensive cells, thus allowing abnormal or cancerous cells to multiply. This paper conveys some recent concepts on AIDS, as well as a study undertaken at the "20 de Noviembre" Hospital, aimed at identifying the most common opportunistic diseases which often occur in the oral cavity upon contracting AIDS.

Different radiological techniques have been developed through the years within the realm of studies on the temporomandibular joint, which have implemented significant improvements in diagnosis by professionals in stomatology. Some of the most modern radiographical techniques, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance image (MRI) are not yet regularly used in our country for the diagnosing of temporomandibular dysfunctions. However, it is quite possible that in the near future, this type of techniques may be more widely handled, with resultant benefits for ailing patients.
