Amalgam Associated Oral Lichenoid Reaction – A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral lichenoid reactions are considered variants of oral lichen planus and may be regarded as a disease by itself or as an exacerbation of an existing oral lichen planus by the presence of medication or dental materials. They represent a type IV hypersensitivity reaction and most commonly affect the oral mucosa in direct contact with an amalgam restoration. Oral lichenoid reactions can cause significant discomfort for the patient and hence dentists should be aware of their occurrence, diagnosis and management. We report a case of oral lichenoid reaction of the left buccal mucosa associated with an amalgam restoration on tooth #27. Complete healing of the lesion was noted following replacement of the amalgam with an intermediate restoration, followed later by a glass-ionomer restoration.

متن کاملLichenoid reaction to carbamazepine in the oral mucosa: case report.
Lichenoid drug reactions are more common in skin, but they may also occur in the oral mucosa. It is difficult to diagnose these lesions due to their clinical similarity to the idiopathic oral lichen planus lesions. The present article reports a case of lichenoid reaction in oral mucosa associated to the use of carbamazepine, emphasizing the diagnostic process.
