ABSTRACT

Introduction: Arterial hypertension is a disease that represents a risk in endodontic treatment due to its tendency to trigger high levels of stress.
Objective: To identify which stages of endodontic treatment are associated with significant changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate in normotensive and hypertensive patients.
Materials and Methods: Cohort study to determine the effect of endodontic treatment, at different stages, on blood pressure and pulse rate in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. Readings were taken using a BP3AC1-1PC Microlife® digital sphygmomanometer (Microlife Corporation, Switzerland).
Results: No statistically significant differences (p›.05) were found in any of the cardiovascular readings of normotensive patients. However, in the group of hypertensive patients, significant differences in systolic blood pressure were found compared to baseline systolic pressure and that obtained in the normotensive group (p? .05).
Conclusions: Endodontic treatment can alter systolic blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients. No significant variation was found in diastolic blood pressure or pulse rate in either group or stage of endodontic treatment.
