Occupational airborne allergic contact dermatitis from methacrylates in a dental nurse

Abstract

The clinical presentation was that of a facial dermatitis due to airborne exposure to methacrylates. It seems likely that 1 or several of these allergens caused the dermatitis.

Dental Materials

“…This is caused by a local effect of acrylics on the peripheral nerves without systemic neural effects [ 3 ]. Ectopic allergic dermatitis may present in the face and on the eyelids from contaminated hands or via airborne exposure [ 4 ]. In dental patients it is the mouth that is mostly affected if a contact allergy to a dental material is prevailing.…”

“…Therefore, a person sensitized to DGEBA resin may react to bis-GMA or vice versa, especially if that individual has a very strong hypersensitivity to DGEBA resin and/or bis-GMA. This can be elucidated if the patient is patch tested to these two preparations in serial dilutions and reacts to very dilute concentrations [ 4 ].…”

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from Two‐component Acrylic Resin in a Manicurist and a Dental Hygienist

“…Double gloving with thin polyvinyl chloride or natural rubber gloves for a 15-min task with acrylics and sufficiently thick nitrile rubber gloves for 30 minutes of work are recommended 1) . Airborne ACD can occur in a manicurist 21,22) and dental nurse 23) . Rhinitis with ACD in a manicurist 24) and asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis in a dentist 25) have been reported.…”
