Abstract
Dental personnel are exposed to a large number of allergens such as acrylics and other plastics, metals, anaesthetics, fragrances, antimicrobials, rubber chemicals and natural rubber latex. The same products may elicit an allergic or irritant reaction in dental patients. These chemicals usually cause allergic contact stomatitis/dermatitis reactions (type IV allergy, Figs. 39.1, 39.2) but may also cause immediate allergy (type I allergy). A biopsy is necessary to exclude other oral diseases, but a biopsy cannot confirm allergy or irritancy, nor distinguish an allergic reaction from an irritant reaction. The causes of contact allergy in dental personnel and their patients are reviewed in this chapter.
