[Dental amalgams and allergy].

C Veron, H F Hildebrand, P Martin

    Journal De Biologie Buccale
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dental amalgam allergies can cause skin issues and oral inflammation. Removing the amalgam often resolves symptoms, with mercury being a common sensitizer.

    Area of Science:

    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Dental Materials Science
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Dental amalgam is a widely used restorative material.
    • Allergic reactions to dental materials are a growing concern.
    • Contact allergy mechanisms are relevant to dental amalgam sensitization.

    Purpose:

    • To review published cases of dental amalgam allergy.
    • To describe symptoms, prevalence, and potential sensitizing agents.
    • To explain the physiopathological mechanisms and treatment of amalgam allergy.

    Summary:

    • Reviews 41 published cases (30 female, 11 male) of dental amalgam allergy.
    • Most common symptoms are remote cutaneous (38/41) and local oral (17/41).
    • Amalgam removal led to recovery in 20 patients; mercury is a frequent sensitizer, but copper, zinc, and silver may also be implicated.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the clinical significance of dental amalgam allergy.
    • Provides insights into the pathogenesis of metal sensitization.
    • Informs prevention and treatment strategies for patients with amalgam hypersensitivity.
