Summary

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in dentistry is shifting. Increased use of gloves and resins now causes more ACD, while traditional allergens like metals are less frequent. Dermatologists must recognize these new dental allergens.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a concern for dental professionals and patients.
  • Recent changes in dental practices have altered the prevalence of ACD allergens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the evolving landscape of allergens causing ACD in dentistry.
  • To inform dermatologists about new and emerging allergens in dental materials.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent trends in dental materials and associated ACD.
  • Analysis of shifts in common allergens reported in dental settings.

Main Results:

  • Widespread use of rubber gloves has increased ACD from glove allergens in staff and patients.

  • Concerns over metal toxicity and demand for cosmetic dentistry have led to increased use of allergenic acrylics and resins.
  • Traditional allergens like medicaments, metals, and glutaraldehyde are now less frequent causes of ACD.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dental practices have shifted ACD triggers from traditional materials to glove components and resins.
    • Awareness of these newer allergens is crucial for dermatologists managing skin conditions in dental personnel and patients.
