Abstract:
This article describes the treatment of a patient who experienced a delayed hypersensitivity reaction associated with acrylic resin. Patch testing revealed an allergy to methyl methacrylate monomer. Patients with a known or suspected allergy of this type should be treated by alternative methods. Dental procedures in which negligible contact of the oral mucosa with methyl methacrylate are presented.
