Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Medicine
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Contact stomatitis is rare due to oral mucosa resistance.
  • Clinical signs vary widely, often less severe than subjective symptoms.
  • Allergic stomatitis is rare, typically linked to mercury or gold salts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and management of contact stomatitis.
  • To highlight the variability in clinical presentation and patient symptoms.
  • To discuss the role and limitations of patch testing.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches.
  • Discussion of causative agents and treatment strategies.
  • Emphasis on differential diagnosis and interdisciplinary evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Contact stomatitis exhibits diverse oral lesions (erythema, erosions, ulcerations, leukoplakia, lichenoid reactions).
  • Subjective symptoms often outweigh objective findings, causing functional issues.
  • Patch testing is crucial for diagnosing allergic reactions but not for burning mouth syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis relies on thorough patient history and oral examination.
  • Patch testing requires careful interpretation and an interdisciplinary approach.
  • Treatment involves identifying and removing the causative agent, with caution regarding costly dental restorations.
