Cutaneous and mucosal reactions to dental materials

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde

Abstract

The concentration of substances released by dental materials is usually too low to cause systemic-toxic effects, but there is the potential to induce dermatoses in especially dentists as well as mucositis in mainly dental patients. The cytotoxic irritative and allergic diseases are successively described categorized according to their pathogenesis. The identification of the diseases, which often have a similar appearance, depends on history-taking and patch testing. Non-dental sensitization is of diagnostic importance.
