“…Contact allergy to bis-GMA has been reported in dental workers (5,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) and dental patients (6,10,24,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), in a printer (30) and a silk-screen maker (22) and in a mechanic handling coating materials (2). The allergic reactions to bis-GMA in these studies usually occurred concomitantly with an allergic reaction to DGEBA epoxy resin.…”

“…In a German study, 6 (15%) out of 40 bis‐GMA‐positive patients did not react to DGEBA epoxy resin, and the only probable bis‐GMA exposure was due to artificial nails in one patient (3). In the detailed descriptions of the printer (30) and one of the dental patients (33), DGEBA epoxy resin allergy was not mentioned, so it is also possible that these two patients had been sensitized to bis‐GMA without co‐sensitization to DGEBA epoxy resin. At FIOH, we have not seen such patients.…”

“…She was found to be allergic to MMA and EGDMA [107]. An unusual case is the 12-year-old boy who was allergic to bis-GMA and the bonding paste in his orthodontic prosthesis and who had worn his appliance for over 1 year without any oral changes [108]. He had however extraoral eczema due to bis-GMA-allergy.…”

Dental professionals and dental patients are exposed to the same sensitizers, but the outcome is very different. Dental professionals suffer predominantly from irritant contact dermatitis and to a lesser degree from allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates and rubber products. Dental patients rarely have allergic contact stomatitis. In this chapter, the reader will learn about the multiple factors that lead to irritant contact dermatitis and also about the major sensitizers, e.g., methacrylates in dentin bonding agents, dental composite resins (DCR), and prostheses, in addition to rubber chemicals, metals, fragrances, and disinfectants. The various sensitizers that may give lichenoid reactions in patients are also discussed.

Allergic contact dermatitis is the classic delayed hypersensitivity reaction, developing in two phases – sensitization and elicitation. It can have profound effects on affected individuals and may result in sickness, absence from work and increased health expense. Its diagnosis requires consideration of many factors including the patient's history and a physical examination; knowledge of the skin's reaction to various chemicals is also desirable. Above all, it requires a high degree of suspicion on the part of the clinician and tenacity, skill and experience in the investigator. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by interpreting patch test results and the technique in itself has many pitfalls for the unwary. Any sensitization identified needs to be put into the context of a past or present dermatitis, and explanations for allergen avoidance or substitution need to be provided for the patient.
