Abstract

Abstract: Hypertension is a condition with an increased blood pressure above normal. Treatment of hypertension is proved to be very effective and widely available but some side effects inter alia in the oral cavity cannot be avoided. This study aimed to obtain the oral complaints of hypertensive outpatients at the Internal Department of Robert Wolter Mongisidi Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive cross sectional study. The results showed that of the 30 respondents there were more females (60%) than males (40%). The most frequent age group was 56-60 years (20% males and 26,6% females), and the most frequent antihypertensive agent was amlodipine (80%). The oral complaints were as follows: xerostomia (80%), swollen gums (16,67%), and stomatitis aphtous recurrent (3,33%).
