[Allergies and dental pulp (author's transl)].
A review of the articles dealing with allergy in the dental pulp is oppered. The dental pulp--furthermore when inflamed--showes antigens, lymphocyetes and plasmocytes, antibodies (IgG, IgA and IgE), mast-cells, histamine and possibly C3. However an hypersensitivity or allergy of immediate type elicited by circulating antibodies has never been demonstrated. In another way, two types of allergies of cellular type have been described in the dental pulp: graft rejection and contact hypersensitivity. Autoimmunity has also just been described.
