Abstract:
Some patients with prostheses or dental material containing nickel have been diagnosed as suffering from stomatitis. These lesions of the oral mucosa are sometimes difficult to interpret since allergies are not always taken into consideration. The paper reports a case of stomatitis due to nickel allergy and describes the diagnostic procedure [correction of iter] followed in order to diagnose the true nature of the pathology.
