Abstract— Systemic arterial hypertension or high blood pressure is a disease that affects many people in the world and is considered a relevant factor in establishing the cause of death. Arterial hypertension is when the pressure that the blood exerts on the walls of the arteries to move is very strong, being above the values considered normal. In addition, this disease involves hardening of the vascular walls, which makes it difficult for blood flow to pass. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to evaluate the existing literature, in order to verify dental care for hypertensive patients. The methodology used was a review of the integrative literature, which searched material databases that supported the theme addressed here. After this survey, 13 articles made up the research results. It is concluded that in the case of diagnosed and treated hypertension, the dentist should consult the patient's doctor, when starting the treatment plan, to make possible the integration of the medical and dental treatments. These patients can be submitted to non-surgical treatments using normal methods, and in case of simple surgical procedures, complementary sedation should be used.
INTRODUCTION
Hypertension is known as the “silent killer” and affects 80 million adults over the age of 20 in the United States alone and only <1 billion people worldwide. In 2025, the number of patients diagnosed with hypertension is expected to be 1.56 billion. Hypertension is responsible for> 7 million deaths annually and is one of the main risk factors for mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The disease is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg, or anyone receiving a prescription for antihypertensive medication for the purpose of controlling hypertension. In addition, hypertension is defined as high blood pressure readings on at least two occasions with or without provocation (CALISTRO et al., 2019). As mentioned by Yugar-Toledo et al. (2020), for those normotensive or prehypertensive patients, providing a complete education is essential for prevention. Explain the risk factors associated with the disease and provide advice www.ijaers.com
on lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, dietary changes (dietary approaches to stop hypertension), decreased sodium intake, increased physical activity and restricted intake of alcohol can prove to save lives in this population. The dentist is faced daily with cardiovascular pathologies. Inappropriate consideration of such a story can lead to potentially fatal accidents. In relation to the hypertensive subject, the dentist must know how to assess the severity and stability of hypertension. In the case of uncontrolled hypertension, the patient should be referred to the attending physician to adjust the treatment (SOUTHERLAND et al., 2016). The dentist must be careful not to interrupt the antihypertensive treatment and limit the stress caused by their care, ensuring optimal analgesia, or even prescribing premedication. Local anesthetic solutions with adrenaline are not contraindicated in controlled hypertension. People with heart valve disease are at risk of developing infective endocarditis.
