Background:
Composite resins are widely used in dentistry due to their aesthetic properties and mechanical strength, often considered safe alternatives to other dental materials.
While acrylic resins are known allergens, composite resins have not been previously associated with allergic reactions.
Delayed hypersensitivity reactions are immune responses that manifest hours or days after exposure to an allergen.
