Abstract

Objective

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect associated with patients’ factor such as systemic disease on the blood pressure of patients in dental procedure. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate the effect associated with systemic disease and antihypertensive on the blood pressure changes with local anesthesia.

Methods

The blood pressure was measured before and after local anesthesia injection for dental treatment. The effect associated with patients’ factor such as systemic disease on the blood pressure and the effect on blood pressure changes of the type of antihypertensive drugs and the systemic disease were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance test.

Results

We analyzed 1306 patients scheduled for the dental procedure. Age and some systemic diseases such as hypertension and angina pectoris affected blood pressure before local anesthesia. On the other hand, age and systemic diseases did not affect blood pressure changes. And, some antihypertensive affected systolic blood pressure changes.

Conclusions

The blood pressure change with local anesthesia was not associated with systemic diseases and age but was associated with antihypertensive agents. In particular, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin II receptor antagonists and alpha-blockers accentuate blood pressure reducing caused by local anesthesia.

Clinical relevance

The blood pressure change with local anesthesia was associated with antihypertensive agents.

This study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (number UMIN000030695).
