It is known that Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is a disease classified as a Chronic Non-Communicable Disease (CNCD), that presents multifactorial causes and that can lead to systemic and even lethal complications, if not controlled. Currently, there is much discussion about the increase in the prevalence of hypertension among the world population, and it has become a public health problem of great concern, especially for the aging population. Therefore, dental care should also include these individuals, understanding its peculiarities and needs for an appropriate and responsible treatment. The inclusion of dentistry within the field of care for patients with systemic arterial hypertension is a great advance and requires professionals prepared to work in a multiprofessional context.
