| Popis: | Background In 1974, the American Dental Association first considered recommending that dental offices measure blood pressure (BP) routinely, and it has been further encouraged since 2006. Investigators in several dental publications have recommended cancellation of dental procedures based solely on BP greater than 180/110 millimeters of mercury for urgent oral health care and greater than 160/100 mm Hg for elective oral health care, in the absence of prior medical consultation. Methods The authors reviewed the evidence for cancellation of any dental or surgical procedures by using an Ovid MEDLINE search for the terms dental, elevated blood pressure, and hypertension. In addition, the authors searched resources at ebd.ada.org using the same criteria. The authors collaborated to develop recommendations in view of 2017 guidelines on this subject. Results To the authors’ knowledge, there are no professionally accepted criteria or study evidence indicating a specific BP elevation at which to prohibit oral health care. Researchers of a 2015 review on management of comorbidities in ambulatory anesthesia failed to find increased morbidity from hypertension in the outpatient setting. Conclusions To the authors’ knowledge, there are no prospective study investigators that have addressed whether or when to cancel dental procedures due to office-measured elevated BP. The authors recommend using current anesthesiology guidelines based on functional status and past BP measurements to prevent unnecessary cancellations. Practical Implications It is seldom necessary to cancel dental procedures on the basis of BP measured before a planned procedure for patients under a physician’s care. |
