Allergic contact dermatitis in a dental nurse induced by methacrylates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Allergy to acrylic plastics is rather frequent among doctors and dental technicians. A rare case of allergy to acrylates in a dental nurse (only one reports can be found in the literature) is presented. The patient reacted to eight chemical compounds of the group under study. UV-cured composites used in conservative dentistry for tooth filling was the source of allergy in the case under report.

We report the case of a manicurist who developed an allergic skin reaction to acrylates, manifested by bullous lesions on fingertips and eczema of the hands and ears. Patch tests showed positive reactions to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, 1,6-hexandiol diacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and triethylene...
متن کاملHow should we advise patients with allergic contact dermatitis caused by (meth-)acrylates about future dental work?
Although acrylic monomers are strong skin sensitizers (1), their corresponding fully cured polymers are considered to be inert. Until recent years, allergic contact dermatitis caused by acrylates, the term comprising, in the following, also methacrylates, was primarily an occupational disease among dentists, printers, and fiberglass workers (2). In our practice, there has been a steady increase...
متن کاملNo contact allergy to acrylic acid and methacrylic acid in routinely tested dermatitis patients.
Occupational and non-occupational contact allergy to, and allergic contact dermatitis caused by, acrylates/methacrylates are frequently reported (1–18). However, there is no acrylate/methacrylate test preparation in the European baseline patch test series (19). Therefore, contact allergy to, and allergic contact dermatitis caused by, acrylates/methacrylates may be overlooked when the decision i...

BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by (meth)acrylates is traditionally an occupational disease among dentists, printers, and fibreglass workers. With the use of artificial nails, cases have been reported both in nail technicians and in users. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to characterize ACD caused by (meth)acrylates, identify the responsible allergens, and assess th...
متن کاملIn vivo testing of the protection provided by non-latex gloves against a 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-containing acetone-based dentin-bonding product.
In dentistry, allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates and allergic contact urticaria to latex are important occupational hazards. There is a need to identify non-latex gloves which are suitable for dental work but at the same time provide adequate protection against acrylate monomers. In a previous study, a new open-chamber system was used for testing the in vivo protection of 6 different glov...
