    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Allergology
    • Oral Medicine

    Background:

    • Allergic contact stomatitis (ACS) to gold is an uncommon condition.
    • Previous reports primarily involved female patients with dental restorations.

    Observation:

    • A case of ACS is presented in a female patient with a fixed gold prosthesis.
    • The patient had a history of gold earring allergy and presented with oral symptoms.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited itching, burning pain, and ulceration of oral tissues adjacent to the gold restoration.
    • Patch testing confirmed a gold allergy, supporting the diagnosis of allergic contact stomatitis.

    Implications:

    • Dental professionals must be aware of gold allergy symptoms and include metal allergy history in patient assessments.
