  • Title: Allergy to nickel in dental alloys.
    Author: Moneret-Vautrin DA, Burnel D, Sainte-Laudy J, Beaudouin E, Croizier A.
    Journal: Eur Ann Allergy Clin Immunol; 2004 Oct; 36(8):311-2. PubMed ID: 15623246.
    Abstract:
    A case of oral allergy to dental alloys is presented, highlighting the interest of dosage of salivary nickel and of flow cytometry showing a selective CD4+ activation. The discrepancy between the rarity of oral allergy to dental alloys and the frequency of nickel sensitization and nickel-induced contact dermatitis leads to discuss the mechanisms of oral tolerance.
