A case report looking at ACE inhibitors as the cause of angioedema during dental treatment.

Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzymes, also known as ACE inhibitors are regularly prescribed by doctors in the treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. In this case report, we will be looking at the delayed onset of angioedema as a result of ACE inhibitors that occurred during dental treatment. We will discuss other causes of angioedema and its management and aim to raise awareness among clinicians to include this in their differential diagnosis of swellings around the mouth, particularly as it can mimic the initial response or be a prelude to an anaphylactic shock.
