Abstract

Background: High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition, eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease. 0ral surgery, placing dental implants, and periodontal surgery were more complicated in hypertensive patients. Aim: The present study is to determine the pattern of common oral lesion in an Iraqi hypertensive patient.

Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients came to dental clinics of Ibn Sina University of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Iraq, Baghdad. In April 2021 to May 2022, have be examined by the researchers. The study sample consist of 100 known as hypertensive patient. between the age group of 20-70 years of there are 57 patients males and 43 females.

Results: The hypertensive patients examined during the course of study belonged to the age group of 41-60 years. Around 18% of the patients under study presented with Ulceration. 12% with gingival bleeding. 14% presented with hypo salivation or xerostomia. 1% of the total patients presented with White oral lesion. 1% of patients presented with facial nerve palsy. 8% patients presented with gingival enlargement swelling. 2% have Periodontitis. 4% have TMJ Pain and 8% have Halitosis.

Conclusion: High blood pressure medications, similar to other drugs, can cause side effects and adverse reactions. It is important that the oral health care provider has an understanding of the different types of reactions they can cause. Oral manifestations associated with taking antihypertensive medications can range from dry mouth, alterations in taste, gingival enlargement, and lichenoid reactions.
