Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Methacrylate-based materials are used daily in dental practice. Specialized publications report these materials as allergens with a high sensitizing potential.
AIM: To draw the attention of dental doctors and personnel to risk factors of developing occupational allergies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: History and dermatological status of the patient were taken and he was given an epicutaneous test.
RESULTS: The allergy testing revealed a strong positive allergic reaction to methacrylates which persisted and was observed at 72 hours as well as on day 7. A diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis was made on the basis of the patient's history, the clinical examination and the results of the epicutaneous test.
CONCLUSION: The presented clinical case shows that early identification of the specific causative agents allows clinicians to take adequate measures and achieve results without having to use a medicine, and stop the progression of the occupational disease and the development of complications.
