Abstract
The case of a 55-year-old man in dental disorder with white coat hypertension is presented. Under general anesthesia removal of post operative cyst, tooth extractions, restorations and root canal treatments were performed. He took anxiolytic drugs before and after the treatment. The blood pressure and the pulse were stable.
In white coat hypertension blood pressures taken by clinic measurements are higher than those by ambulatory monitoring. The cause of white coat hypertension is supposed to be mental stress, alert reaction and defense reaction. Dental disorder cases refuse or avoid any dental treatment because of their strong fear of dental management.
The treatments were uneventful, but dental treatment of patients in dental disorder with white coat hypertension requires careful attention.
