“…Hypersensitive reactions due to nickel in the cobalt-chromium alloys of dentures have been described in the literature. The reactions reported are contact stomatitis (Deissler & Sheets, 1942;Wood, J974), dermatitis (Jakobs, 1953;Sidi, 1961;Brendlinger & Tarsitano, 1970;Glendenning, 1971;Fisher, 1974) and combinations of both local and general reactions (Levantine, 1974). With regard to the obviously unpleasant side-effects resulting from sensitivity to nickel it has been suggested that a nickel-free alloy should be used routinely in the casting of cobalt-chromium dentures (Wood, 1974).…”

“…There are some reports in the literature where hypersensitive reactions to nickel in cobalt-chromium alloys are presented and discussed. The reactions reported vary from mucosal contact stomatitis to generalized dermatitis without any oral mucosal reaction (Deissler & Sheets, 1942;Jakobs, 1953;Sidi, 1961;Brendlinger & Tarsitano, 1970;Levantine, 1974;Wood, 1974). Magnusson et al (1979) showed with patch tests carried out on ten patients, with known nickel allergy, that the pure metal nickel and cobalt-chromium alloys containing nickel caused positive skin reactions which were especially pronounced for an alloy containing 9% nickel by weight.…”

Specimens of four non-precious dental casting alloys intended for use in the ceramic-metal technique were implanted subcutaneously in the neck region of mice. The animals were killed after 5 months. Organs and tissues were tested as regards the concentration of nickel by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The study showed that due to electrochemical corrosion nickel was released from implants and accumulated in some tissues and organs.

“…Of the 139 patients, 115 went into remission when the RPD was removed. Patients with denture stomatitis related to the metal part of the prosthesis, and who have been patch-tested for contact allergy to nickel, cobalt, and chromium, often react to two or all three of the metals (Re, 1960;Brendlinger and Tarsitano, 1970;Levantine, 1974;Wood, 1974;Kaaber etal, 1979). Fixed prosthodontic restorations made of steel (ironbased alloys with chromium and nickel) are extensively used in some East European countries.…”

Side-effects from dental materials are a minor problem, but should be recognized. In recent questionnaire surveys about side-effects, the incidence was estimated to be 1:300 in periodontics and 1:2600 in pedodontics. None of these reactions was related to dental casting alloys. In prosthodontics, the incidence was calculated to be about 1:400, and about 27% were related to base-metal alloys for removable partial dentures (cobalt, chromium, nickel) and to noble/gold-based alloys for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. The complaints consisted of intra-oral reactions (such as redness, swelling, and pain of the oral mucosa and lips), oral/gingival lichenoid reactions, and a few instances of systemic reactions. In orthodontics, the incidence was 1:100, and most reactions (85%) were related to metal parts of the extra-oral anchorage devices. Even though the extensive use of base-metal alloys has been of major concern to the dental profession, relatively few case reports substantiate this concern. Allergy to gold-based dental restorations has been more commonly reported. Palladium-based alloys have been associated with several cases of stomatitis and oral lichenoid reactions. Palladium allergy seems to occur mainly in patients who are very sensitive to nickel. All casting alloys, except titanium, seem to have a potential for eliciting adverse reactions in individual hypersensitive patients. Tolerance induction may be a possible benefit of the use of intra-orally placed alloys. In non-sensitized individuals, oral antigenic contacts to nickel and chromium may induce tolerance rather than sensitization. A variety of systemic diseases and reactions has been claimed to be caused by dental materials. The claims are generally poorly documented.

“…Metal release from Co-Cr partial dentures has been desribed (Stenberg, 1982;Fontes de Melo, Gjerdet & Erichsen, 1983). Toxicological damage to patients due to tbis release is not likely (Bergman, 1977), but allergic reactions to cobalt, chrome (or nickel, as a minor addition) from Co-Cr dental appliances have been suggested (Brendlinger & Tarsitano, 197(J;Levantine, 1974;Bergman, 1977;Dooms-Goossens et ai, 1980). It was the aim of this investigation to assess the corrosion behaviour of a new Co-Cr-Mo alloy intended for use as a ceramic substrate.…”

Cobalt-chromium alloys are extensively used for removable partial dentures and implants. Recently, this type of alloy has been introduced for porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridgework. The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of such a ceramic alloy (Vicomp) and compare it to a cobalt-chromium alloy for removable partial dentures (Vitallium). A 0.9% saline solution and an artificial saliva were used as electrolytes. Results indicate a similar, adequate, corrosion resistance.
