Abstract:
Contact allergic reactions in and around the mouth are not frequent, but they can have very unpleasant consequences. Discussed are the most important materials that can cause reactions in patients and dental personnel. Particulary the enormous increase in the use of latex gloves has caused a rise in latex allergy and contact dermatitis by rubber additives. Acrylates are also important contact sensitizers; they can cause the dentist serious trouble.
