[The arterial pressure problem in dental practice]

L Abraham-Inpyain, O V Polsacheva, R A Gortzak

    Stomatologiia
    |January 1, 1996
    PubMed
    Summary

    High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a dangerous "Silent Killer." Monitoring blood pressure during dental visits is crucial for patient safety and preventing complications during procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Dental Medicine
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Hypertension is a prevalent health issue, particularly among older European populations.
    • Often asymptomatic, hypertension is termed a "Silent Killer" due to high morbidity and mortality rates.
    • Blood pressure monitoring during routine dental check-ups has been explored in the USA and the Netherlands.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the significance of diagnosing and treating hypertension.
    • To investigate the impact of dental procedures on blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients.
    • To establish guidelines for managing dental treatment in patients with elevated blood pressure.

    Summary:

    • Dental check-ups revealed significant blood pressure increases in hypertensive patients compared to controls.
    • Blood pressure spikes occur during dental treatment, especially during extractions, even with local anesthesia.
    • Integrating blood pressure assessment into the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) risk score is vital for preventive care.

    Impact:

    • Defines critical blood pressure thresholds for dental treatment safety.
    • Identifies specific systolic (160-200 mm Hg) and diastolic (95-115 mm Hg) ranges requiring preventive measures.
    • Establishes absolute contraindications for dental procedures when systolic blood pressure exceeds 200 mm Hg and diastolic exceeds 115 mm Hg.
