Methods: The type of this research is analytical observational. The method is that blood pressure is measured in each sample, then grouped into 2 (normal blood pressure group and hypertension group). Furthermore, each group was examined with an intra-oral examination that will be carried out to determine the condition of the soft tissue of the oral cavity in each sample.
