AB Dental  caries  and  periodontal  disease  are  some  of  the  most  common  infectious  diseases  in  the  United  States.2  All  transplant  patients  should  be  considered  to  have  these  diseases  to  some  extent.  Both  dental  caries  and  periodontal  disease  are  chronic  in  nature,  but  they  can  have  acute  episodes  that  can  be  serious.  In  the  acute  phase,  the  infectious  process  follows  facial  planes  and  can  be  life  threating  if  the  swelling  restricts  the  airway  (see  Figs.  34-1  and  34-2).
