  • Title: Amalgam-related oral lichenoid reaction.
    Author: Lind PO, Hurlen B, Lyberg T, Aas E.
    Journal: Scand J Dent Res; 1986 Oct; 94(5):448-51. PubMed ID: 3467420.
    Abstract:
    In 52 patients with oral lichen planus topographically related to amalgam restorations, the fillings were replaced by other materials in 18, 16 of whom experienced complete remission of the lesions within 1-12 months. These results are discussed in relation to the results of epicutaneous patch tests for possible allergy to a number of mercury compounds. The term "oral lichenoid reaction", is suggested to describe these lesions.
