title: Blood pressure monitoring: a necessary routine?
abstract: While faculty in Oral Medicine Departments have advocated routine blood pressure monitoring for more than thirty years, the activity does not seem to be routine in many practices, but rather undertaken only when the patient indicates that there is a problem. This study was undertaken to ascertain if the frequency of abnormal blood pressure findings warrants routine monitoring on the patient who is already being seen by a physician or who is asymptomatic.
