Oral lichenoid reaction due to nickel alloy contact hypersensitivity.

TLDR
A middle aged patient came to the authors' dental out patients department with a complaint of burning sensation in right buccal mucosa and right side of tongue and an inability to eat spicy foods since a few months.
Abstract
A middle aged patient came to our dental out patients department with a complaint of burning sensation in right buccal mucosa and right side of tongue and an inability to eat spicy foods since a few months. Medical and family histories were non-contributory. The patient was not on any long-term medication either. However, the patient gave a dental history of fabrication of metal bridge for missing mandibular right molar a few years back. Intraoral examination revealed …

Nickel Hypersensitivity: A General Review on Clinical Aspects and PotentialCo-Morbidities

TL;DR: Allergic contact hypersensitivity to metals is a delayed-type allergy that seems to be promoted by nickel rich-foods or through endogenous route caused by metal implants which seem to elicit mainly in loco symptoms, sometimes with catastrophic consequences as aseptic bone necrosis following the implantation of hip prosthesis.

Oral lesions and symptoms related to metals used in dental restorations: A clinical, allergological, and histologic study

TL;DR: The results suggest that sensitization to mercury is an important cause of OLL, whether all lesions or only a part of them are adjacent to amalgam fillings.

Hypersensitivity reactions to dental materials in patients with lichenoid oral mucosal lesions and in patients with burning mouth syndrome.

TL;DR: In 7 of the 8 patients who reacted to mercury, total or partial regression of the lesions was observed after removal of dental amalgam, and this difference was statistically significant.
