Introduction: Physiologic changes in blood pressure are frequent, nevertheless dental procedures could trigger an increase in blood pressure, which may alter the state or even generate systemic vascular injury or medical complications, that compromise patient integrity. Objectives: To identify factors, which produce risk variations of blood pressure levels during dental procedures in hypertensive and no hypertensive patients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was made in 108 patients; including hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients. Sociodemographic variables were assessed, blood pressure values; before, during and after procedure, cardiovascular risk factors and those dependent of the procedure. Patients were selected using the cluster probability method. The data were processed at SPSS 21, using central tendency measures and dispersion, standard deviation and confidence interval, frequencies, chi2, T test, mean difference, one-way ANOVA and repeated measures. Results: The mean age was 62.3 years with SD 12,5 years, 42 (38.9%) without hypertension and 66(61.1%) hypertensive patients. Changes in systolic pressure greater than 20mmHg in systolic and 10mmHg in diastolic, was present in greater percentage of hypertensive patients with erratic control, in women and procedures without the use of anesthetic. Depending on the type of hypertension, differences were found between the group of healthy control, erratic control group, poorly controlled and uncontrolled group. By applying a linear model repeated measures, we found differences in the measurements of arterial pressure in different types of hypertension. Conclusions The factors related with risk variations in blood pressure occurred in erratic control hypertension patients, women and duration of the procedure.
